Question

a book are #300 was sold for #250.what is the loss pecentage

Answer 1

Answer:

(16 whole 2/3)%

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss= Cost Price-Selling Price

=300rs-250rs

=50rs

Loss percentage=(loss/C.P ×100)%

=(50/300 ×100)%

=50/3%

=(16 whole 2/3)%

Answer 2

Answer:

C.P of 300 books = Rs 250

Let S.P be x

now,

Loss= C.P -S.P

       = 250 - x

Loss%=250-x/250 * 100%

         =50-x/5

We have,

C.P/S.P = 100/100-Loss%

250/x=100/100-50-x/5

(after solving it...)

x= 75

loss% = 50-x/5

         = 50-75/5

         = 50-15

         = 35%
