Answer 2

Given:

A shopkeeper suffers a loss of Rs190 when he sells 16 toys for a total of Rs1570.

To Find:

Calculate the Loss percentage.

Solution:

We are given with a shopkeeper who incurred a loss of Rs190 and sold 16 toys for a total of 1570 and we need to find the loss%, for that we should know the formula for loss% that is,

$Loss\%=\frac{CP-SP}{CP}*100$

where,

           CP= cost price

           SP= selling price

As we have the selling price, SP=1570 and a loss of Rs190

Loss can be expressed as,

Loss= CP-SP

190=CP-1570

CP=1760

So now we have the value of selling price and cost price, now finding the loss% we have,

$Loss\%=\frac{CP-SP}{CP}*100\\=\frac{1760-1570}{1760}*100\\=\frac{190}{1760} *100\\=10.8\%$

Hence, the loss percentage is 10.8%.
