Question

9. Afzal buys a laptop for 48,000, but later
sells it for 40,000. Calculate his loss%.​

Answer 1

C.P of Laptop = Rs. 48000

S.P. of Laptop = Rs. 40000

Loss = C.P. - S.P

= 48000 - 40000

= Rs. 8000

Loss percentage is equal to,

$= 100 \times \frac{loss}{c.p.}$

$= 100 \times \frac{8000}{48000}$

$= \frac{100}{6}$

$= 16.67\%$

Therefore the loss percentage is 16.67%.

Answer 2

Answer:

¤ Given -:

$\textsf{Afzal buys a laptop = 48,000}$

$\textsf{Afzal sells the laptop = 40,000}$

¤ To find -:

$\textsf{Loss percent at the laptop to Afzal}$

¤ Taken -:

To find the loss percent use this equation:

$\Large{\boxed{L=\frac{40000}{48000}×100}}$

Here , L is the loss percent .

¤ Concept -:

Use this equation . By using first divide 48000 by 100 . Then , divide the answer with the 40000 . Then , to find the loss percent subtract the 100 % with the percentage which will come with that equation .

¤ Solution -:

$\implies{L=\frac{40000}{48000}×100}$

$\implies{L=\frac{40000}{480}}$

$\implies{L=83.333\:percent(approx)}$

____________________________________

Now , subtract :

$:\implies{L=100-83.333(approx)}$

$:\implies{L=16.777\:percent(approx)}$

¤ Answer -:

So , the loss percent in which the Afzal sells the laptop is 16.777 percent (approx)
