(C) 14%
(D) 17%

answer me step by step​

Answer 1

• Since The Cost Price is More than The Selling Price, Loss is occurred here and we need to Calculate Loss %

Loss % = (Cost Price - Selling Price)/Cost Price × 100 %

⇒ Loss % = (1000 - 800)/1000 × 100 %

⇒ Loss % = 200/1000 × 100 %

⇒ Loss % = 2/10 × 100 %

⇒ Loss % = 1/5 × 100 %

⇒ Loss % = 100/5 %

⇒ Loss % = 20 %

Answer 2

➤ Given :-

Cost price :- ₹ 1000

Selling price :- ₹ 800

➤ To Find :-

Loss percentage of the given sum...........

➤ Formula required :-

$\large \dashrightarrow \tt \orange { \boxed { \tt \gray{ \dfrac{Loss}{Cost \: price} \times 100}}}$

➤ Solution :-

Loss :-

$\tt \longrightarrow1000 - 800$

$\sf \longrightarrow rs \: \tt 200$

Now,

Loss percentage :-

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{200}{1000} \times 100$

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{200}{ \cancel{1000}} \times \cancel{100} = \boxed { \tt\dfrac{200}{10} }$

$\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{200}{10} = 20 \bf\%$

$\Huge\therefore$The loss percentage of the given sum is 20 $\bf\%$.
