Answer 2

hello users ......

given that :
A man bought an article for 5000 rs and sell that in  4500 rs 

we have to find :
loss % = ? 

solution :
C.P = 5000 rs 
S.P = 4500 rs 
here ,
total loss = C.P - S.P 
= 5000 - 4500 
= 500 rs 

now,
we know that :
loss % = $( \frac{loss * 100}{C.P} )$

= 500 * 100 / 5000
= 10% answer
