Answer 2

Answer:

$\rightarrow$ Loss=₹50.

$\rightarrow$ Loss Percentage = 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution -

ㅤ

➠ㅤAs the above question depicts that the cost price was more than the selling price, it led to loss.

$\color{black}\boxed{\colorbox{saffron}{Loss=Cost\:Price-Selling\:Price}}$

$2000 - 1950 \\ \\ = 50$

So, loss was of ₹50.

ㅤ

➠ㅤNow,let's find the loss percentage.

$loss=\frac{loss}{cost\:price}×100$

$= \frac{50}{2000} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{5}{2} \\ \\ = 2.5\%$

So, loss% was 25%.
