Answer 2

Answer :-

• The loss suffered = Rs 100.
• There was a loss of 50%.

Given :-

• A skirt is bought for Rs 200.
• It is sold at Rs 100.

To find :-

• The loss.
• The loss percentage.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• In this question, the cost price and the selling price of a skirt has been given to us. We have to find the loss suffered and the loss percentage. For finding the loss percentage, we first have to find the loss suffered and then we can use it to find the loss percentage.

Calculations :-

We know that :-

$\underline{\boxed{\sf Loss = Cost \: Price - Selling \: Price.}}$

Here,

• Cost Price = Rs 200.
• Selling Price = Rs 100.

Hence,

--------------------

$\tt Loss = 200 - 100$

$\overline{\boxed{ \tt Loss = Rs \: 100.}}$

--------------------

• Now, since we know the loss suffered, therefore let's find the loss percentage.

We know that :-

$\underline{\boxed{ \sf Loss \: \% = \dfrac{Loss}{Cost \: Price} \times 100}}$

Here,

• Loss = Rs 100.
• Cost Price = Rs 200.

--------------------

$\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Substituting \: these \: values \: in \: the \: formula,}}}$

$\boxed{\tt Loss \: \% = \dfrac{100}{2 \!\!\!\not0 \!\!\!\not0} \times 1 \!\!\!\not0 \!\!\!\not0}$

Cutting off the zeroes,

$\boxed{\tt Loss \: \% = \dfrac{ \cancel{100}}{ \cancel{2}} \times 1}$

Reducing the numbers,

$\boxed{ \tt Loss \: \% = \dfrac{50}{1} \times 1}$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers, since we can't reduce them anymore.

$\boxed{ \tt Loss \: \% = 50 \times 1}$

Multiplying the numbers,

$\boxed{\tt Loss \: \% = 50 \%}$
