Answer 2

Question :

• A man buys a machine for 7800 and sells it for 7500

To find :

• His loss percentage

Solution :

we know that ,

• Loss percentage = ( C.P - S.P / C.P ) × 100

Here,

• C.P = 7800
• S.P = 7500

Substituting the values ,

➵ Loss percentage = ( C.P - S.P / C.P ) × 100

➵ Loss percentage = ( 7800 - 7500 / 7800 ) × 100

➵ Loss percentage = 300 × 100 / 7800

➵ Loss percentage = 300/78

➵ Loss percentage = 3.84%

Therefore :

• The loss percentage is 3.84
