Answer 2

Answer: Loss is 1% when he has sold the shirt for Rs. 792

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = Rs. 728

loss = 9%

Let CP = x  

$x- 9\% \text { of } x = 728\\\\\Rightarrow x- \dfrac{9}{100} x= 728 \\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{91x}{100} = 728\\\\\Rightarrow x=Rs. 800$

Now CP = Rs. 800

        SP = Rs. 792

CP> SP therefore there is loss

Loss= CP- SP = 800- 792= Rs. 8

Loss% =  $\dfrac{loss}{CP} \times 100} = \dfrac{8}{800} \times 100= 1\%$

Hence, Loss is 1% when he has sold the shirt for Rs. 792
