Question

A man buys 5 shirts for Rs. 600 and sells 4 shirts for Rs. 440. Find percent of loss in fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

25/3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

He buys 5 shirts for Rs.600

Then 1 shirt cost is equal to Rs.120

He sells 4 shirts for Rs.440

Then 1 shirt cost is equal to Rs.110

Loss% = Loss/C.P × 100

= 120 - 110 / 120 × 100

= 10 / 120 × 100

= 100 / 12

= 25 /3 %

Answer 2

Answer:

25/3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = 5 shirts for Rs. 600

1 shirt for Rs. 120

SP = 4 shirts for Rs. 440

1 shirt for Rs. 110

Loss = 120 - 110 = 10

Formula:

Loss % = Loss / CP * 100

= 10/120 * 100 = 25/3 % (Ans)
