Question

a table was sold for ₹205 at a loss of 18%. if the selling price is ₹270 then what would be the gain or loss percent ?

Answer 1

L=cp - sp
270-205=65
L%=L DIVIDED BY CP MULTIPLIED BY 100
65÷270×100=24.07%

Answer 2

the main price of the table is 270 Rs.
The table was sold at 205 Rs.
So, he lose (270-205)Rs=65Rs.

In 270 Rs he lose =65Rs
In 1 Rs he lose = 65/270 Rs
so,in 100 Rs he lose =
$\frac{65 \times 100}{270 } \\ = \frac{65 \times 10}{27} \\ = \frac{650}{27} \\ = 24.07407.....$
So the percent is 24.07
