Answer 2

Before, finding the answer. Let's find out we can find the answer.

• In this question, we are asked to find the Loss Percent.
• So, to find that, we have to first compare to check, whether it is loss or profit.
• Then, after finding, we have to subtract the S.P and C.P.
• At last, to find the Loss Percent, we must use the formula of :

$\boxed{ \tt Loss \% =\frac{Loss}{C.P} \times 100 }$

_______________________

Given :

• Cost Price = Rs. 1500
• Selling Price = Rs. 1100

To find :

• Loss Percent

Solution :

Since,

C.P > S.P.. Therefore, it is Loss.

Loss = C.P - S.P

        = 1100 - 1500

        = 400

Now,

${ \tt Loss \% =\dfrac{Loss}{C.P} \times 100 }$

           ${ \tt =\dfrac{400}{1500} \times 100 }$

           ${ \tt =\dfrac{40000}{1500} }$

           ${ \tt = 26.6\%}$

Therefore, Loss Percent is 26.6%.
