Answer:

The loss percentage is 9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A handbag was sold at Rs.765 at the loss of 15%.

To find : The loss percentage if it was sold for Rs.819?

Solution :

S.P: 765

Loss: 15 %

The cost price is

CP=\frac{100}{100-L\%}\times SP

CP=\frac{100}{100-15}\times 765

CP=900

C.P is 900 and if selling price will be 819

Then it will be a loss as C.P is greater than the S.P.

Loss = CP-SP

Loss = 900-819

Loss = 81

L\%=\frac{L}{CP}\times 100

L\%=\frac{81}{900}\times 100

L\%=9\%

Therefore, The loss percentage is 9%.
