Question

A skirt bought for ₹250 and sold at ₹150. Find loss or gain%.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of skirt = Rs. 250

Selling price of skirt = Rs. 150

Since, C.P. > S.P., therefore here is loss.

∴∴ Loss = C.P. – S.P. = 250 – 150 = Rs. 100

Now Loss% = Loss/C.P.×100

= 100/250×100 = 40%

Therefore, Profit = Rs. 100 and Profit% = 40%

Answer 2

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

$\sf{C.P = ₹250}$

$\sf{S.P = ₹150}$

$\sf{Here \: C.P>S.P}$

$\sf{So,}$

$\sf{Loss = C. P - S. P}$

$\sf{ = ₹250 - ₹150}$

$\boxed{\sf{Loss=₹100}}$

$\sf{Loss \: Percentage = \frac{Loss} {C.P} × 100 \:\% }$

$\sf{ = \frac{100} {250} × 100\%}$

$\sf{= \frac{10} {25} × 100\%}$

$\sf{= \frac{2} {5} × 100\%}$

$\sf{= 2 × 20\%}$

$\boxed{\sf{\therefore Loss \: Percentage = 40\%}}$
