Answer 1

Question: A ranching company bought 200 goats at ₹1000 each. Later 40 goats died and the company sold the remaining goats at 1200 each. What is the percentage loss made by the company?

$\huge\star{\green{\underline{\mathrm{Answer: -}}}}$ 4 %

Step by step explanation:

Total Cost of 200 goats at ₹1000 each = 200×1000 = ₹200000 .

Remained goats = 200 - 40 = 160 goats.

Total selling price of 160 goats at ₹1200 each = 160 × 1200 = ₹192000

Total Loss = 200000 - 192000

$\Longrightarrow$ ₹8000

Loss percent = $\huge{\frac{loss}{C.P.}}$ × 100

$\Longrightarrow$ $\huge{\frac{8000}{200000}}$ × 100

$\Longrightarrow$ 4 % .

$\Longrightarrow$ Hence total loss percent = 4 % .
