$\sf\huge\bold{Solution}$

Given

Purchases price of television (CP)=₹5,000

Selling price of ₹4,000.

To Find

Loss per cent

__________________________________________

Basic Concepts

=>The cost at which an articles is purchased is called its cost price (CP)

=>The cost at which an articles sold is called its selling price (SP).

⋆If SP is greater than CP then it is profit or gain.

⋆If CP is greater than SP then it is loss.

___________________________________________

IMPORTANT FORMULAE

Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.)

Loss = (C.P.) - (S.P.)

Cost price of television =₹5,000

Selling price of television=₹4,000

CP> SP so,it's a loss

Loss=C.P -S.P

=₹5,000-₹4,000=₹1,000

$\boxed{\sf loss \% = \left(\dfrac{loss \times 100}{CP}\right)}$

$\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{100{\cancel{0 }}\times {\cancel{100}}}{5{\cancel{000}}}$

$\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{100}{5} = 20$

$\sf\boxed{{\bold{ loss \%= 20}}}$
