Answer 1

Answer:

profit percentage= profit/cost × 100

loss percentage = loss/cost × 100

Answer 2

The loss is 40%.

Given - Selling price and cost price

Find - Profit/loss percentage

Solution - As the selling price is lesser than cost price, there was loss.

Loss = Cost price - Selling price

Loss = 50 - 30

Loss = Rs. 20

Loss percentage = loss/cost price*100

Loss percentage = 20/50*100

Loss percentage = 40%

Hence, the loss is 40%.
