33.33% loss on sale is equal to__% loss on cost.
Answers
Answer:
20%= 20/100 that's 1/5
Whenever it's on sales and you want to convert into cost, reduce one from the denominator so 1/5 on sales becomes 1/4 which will be on cost. This is a shortcut. Do the vice versa when you want to convert from cost to sale i.e add one in the denominator.
The logic is as follows:-let cost of a product X be 100
Cost + profit= sale price
Now we have to have consider 25%profit on cost. So 100+25%of100= sale price. Which is nothing but 100+25=125.
Now in your question you have 20% on sale
Rs 25 profit on 125 is nothing but 20% on sale
Hence proved 25%on cost=20% on sale!
Explanation:
The 33.33 percent on cost equal to 25% on sales as given below:-
The 33.33 is 1/3 of cost means if sales is 25% then it is 1/4 of sales.
° we understand in detail:—
:- if the cost is 1/2 of cost then always remember that the sales is more than the cost which became 1/3.
Means 1/2+1 of cost = 1/3 of sales..
:- if the sales is 1/4 given and we have to take up in the cost we less the amount 1/4–1 =which is 1/3.
always remember that the sales is more than the cost, and cost is less than the sales as given in above situations.
