age loss.​

Answer 1

Answer:

19 nineteen is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

• Arpit's loss% is 19%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• Arpit bought a mobile phone for ₹ 10000.
• He sold the watch for ₹ 8100.

To Find:

• Arpit's loss percentage.

As we know that:

• Loss = CP - SP

Substituting the values,

Loss = ₹(10000 - 8100)

Subtracting the numbers,

↪ ₹ 1900

Hence, Arpit had a loss of ₹ 1900.

Now,

As we know that:

$\sf{Loss\%=\dfrac{Loss}{CP}\times100}$

Substituting the values,

$\sf{\longmapsto\dfrac{1900}{10000}\times100}$

Cutting off the zeros,

$\sf{\longmapsto\dfrac{19\!\!\!\not{0}\!\!\!\not{0}}{1\!\!\!\not{0}\!\!\!\not{0}\!\!\!\not{0}\!\!\!\not{0}}\times1\!\!\!\not{0}\!\!\!\not{0}}$

$\sf{\longmapsto 19}$

Hence, Arpit's loss percentage is 19%.
