Question

A person buys a cycle for rupees 450 but because of certain urgencyhe sells it for rupees 350 find his loss percent

Answer 1

Answer:

loss percent=22.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

cp=450

sp=350

loss=cp-sp=100

loss percent = loss/cp  * 100

=100*100/450=22.22%

Answer 2

$\huge\mathbb{SOLUTION:-}$

$\sf{Given:-}\begin{cases}\sf{C.P\:of\:cycle=450}\\ \sf{S.P\:of\:cycle=350}\end{cases}$

We have to find the Loss %

$\boxed{\sf{\purple{\dag{\:\:Loss\%=\dfrac{C.P-S.P}{S.P}\times 100\%}}}}$

$\sf\implies Loss\%=\dfrac{450-350}{450}\times 100\%\\ \\ \sf\implies Loss\%=\dfrac{100}{450}\times 100\%\\ \\ \sf\implies Loss\%=\dfrac{100\times 100}{450}\\ \\ \sf\implies Loss\%=\cancel{\dfrac{10000}{450}}\\ \\ \sf\implies Loss\%=22.22\%\:\:\:(approx)$

$\boxed{\sf{Loss\%=22.22\%}}$
