Question

A man sold an bicycle for ₹ 810; losing one-tenth of its selling price. Find: (i) the loss (ii) the cost price of the article (iii) the loss as percent

Answer 1

Answer:

so losing one tenth of its selling price

that is 1/10(810)=81

that means loss will be 81 rupes

2)the cost price of the article is selling price +loss

=810+81=891

3) loss percentage =loss/costprice *100

=81/891 *100=100/11 = 9(1/11)%loss
