Answer 2

Answer:

Loss percentage = 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$\rm{Cost\:price\:of\:the\:computer =Rs.28560}$

$\rm{Selling\:price\:of\:the\:computer=Rs.24276}$

To find :

$\rm{The \:loss\: percentage }$

Taken :

To find the loss percentage use this formula -:

$\boxed{\rm{L\%=\dfrac{L}{C.P.}\times100}}$

Where,

L% = Loss percentage

L = Loss

C.P. = Cost price

Solution :

Loss -:

$:\Rightarrow\rm{L=C.P.-S.P.}$

$:\Rightarrow\rm{L=Rs.28560-Rs.24276}$

$:\Rightarrow\rm{L=Rs.4284}$

Loss percentage -:

$:\Rightarrow\rm{L\%=\dfrac{Rs.4284}{Rs.\cancel{28560}}\times\cancel{100}}$

$:\Rightarrow\rm{L\%=\dfrac{Rs.\cancel{4284}}{\cancel{285.6}}}$

$:\Rightarrow\rm{L\%=15\%}$

So , the loss percentage is 15% .
