Step-by-step explanation:

Cp of an article =35rs

Sp of the article =25rs

so the loss =(CP-SP)

=(35-25)rs

=10rs

loss percentage =Total loss/Cp×100

10/35×100

=200/7

=28.5%(approx)

Answer 2

Answer:

Loss percentage is 28.5% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Selling Price of article = Rs. 25

Cost price of article = Rs. 25

Find loss percentage.

As,

Loss = cp - sp

Where,

SP= Selling price

CP = Cost price

By putting given values

$Loss = 35 - 25$

$Loss = 10$

So,

Loss is of Rs 10.

We know that,

Loss percentage = $\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100$

By putting given values

Loss percentage = $\frac{10}{35} \times 100$

By dividing 10 and 35 by 5 we get

Loss percentage = $\frac{2}{7} \times 100$

Loss percentage = $\frac{2\times 100}{7}$

Loss percentage = $\frac{200}{7}$

Loss percentage $= 28.5$

Hence,

Loss percentage is 28.5% .
