Question

4. The cost price of 25 books is the same as the selling price of 35 books. Find the loss
percent.
​

Answer 1

Let the cost price of one article be Re 1

Then the cost price of 25 articles is Rs 25

The selling price of 35 articles =

                                                   = cost price of 25 articles = Rs 25 \

find the cost price for 35 articles.

We have assumed the cost of 1 article = Re 1.

Therefore, cost price of 35 articles = Rs 35

Therefore,

The profit/loss made on 35 articles = S.P of 35 articles - C.P of 35 articles = Rs 35 – Rs 25 = Rs 10 Hence, Loss percent = (10/35) ´ 100 = 28.57%

Answer 2

Answer:

cp=25

sp=35

loss=35-25=10
