Explanation :-

• In the given question, we have to find loss percent.

• We will use the formula loss % = CP-SP/100× 100 for finding the loss percent.

• We will put the CP - 1200 and SP - 1080/100× 100

• We will get the answer 10%

And we're done! :D

(Remember- Profit or loss percent is always calculated on Cost price (C.P).
