Question

a dvd player is sold for rs3120 at a loss of 4 % what will the gain or loss % if it is sold for rs360

Answer 1

Heya !!!

Here is your answer »»»»»

SP of the DVD player = Rs3120

Loss percentage = 4%

Hence, CP =

SP × 100/100 - Loss%

= 3120 × 100/100 - 4

= 3120 × 100 / 96

= 32.5 × 100

= 3250

Now if the same DVD player is sold for Rs 360, there will be a loss as SP < CP

Loss = 3250 - 360

= Rs 2890

Therefore, Loss% = Loss × 100/CP

= 2890 × 100/3250%

= 1156/13%

In case you ment 'if the DVD is sold for Rs 3600'

Here, it is a profit as SP>CP

Profit = 3600 - 3250

= Rs 350

Therefore, Profit % = Profit × 100/CP

= 350 × 100/3250%

= 140/13%

Hope this helps
