Answer 1

✬ Loss % = 6 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• CP of first refrigerator is Rs 9800.
• CP of second refrigerator is Rs 8200.
• S.p of both refrigerator is Rs 16920.

To Find:

• What is the loss percent ?

Solution: Cost price of both refrigerators is

➟ CP¹ + CP²

➟ Rs (9800 + 8200)

➟ Rs 18000

Here CP of both refrigerators is Rs 18000 and S.P of both refrigerators is Rs 16920.

On comparing both C.P and S.P

• S.P < C.P { there is loss }

As we know that

★ Loss = C. P – S.P ★

$\implies{\rm }$ Loss = Rs 18000 – 16920

$\implies{\rm }$ Loss = Rs 1080

★ Loss % = Loss/C.P $\times$ 100 ★

$\implies{\rm }$ Loss% = (1080/18000)100

$\implies{\rm }$ Loss% = (108000/18000)

$\implies{\rm }$ Loss% = 6%

Hence, his loss percent is 6%.

Answer 2

Answer:

LOSS=(COST PRICE+LOSS PRICE)

(9800+8200)-16920

18000-16920

1080

LOSS PERCENT= LOSS/COST PRICE ×100

1080/18000×100

LOSS percent = 6%
