A tv set was purchased for Rs.20,000 and is sold for Rs 16,000. Find the loss percentage.

____________________

$\boxed{\bold{ Solution:- }}$

Cost price = ₹20,000

Sold price = ₹16,000

∴ Loss = ₹20,000 - ₹16,000 = ₹4,000

________

$\texttt{ ∴ \: loss \: percentage \: = } \\ = > \frac{total \: loss}{cost \: price} \times 100\% \\ = > \frac{₹4,000}{₹20,000} \times 100\% \\ = > \frac{1}{5} \times 100\% \\ = > 20\%$

$\huge \underline{ \fbox{Answer}}$

$\large \underline{ \underline{ \frak{ \color{indigo}Given:}}}$

${ \mapsto \sf{Cost \: Price \: of \: T.V. \: set=₹20,000}}$

${ \mapsto \sf{ Selling \: Price \: of \: T.V. \: set=₹16,000}}$

$\large \underline{ \underline{ \frak{ \color{black}To \: find:}}}$

$\leadsto \sf{Loss \: \% \: on \: T.V. \: set.}$

$\large \underline{ \underline{ \frak{ \color{orange}Formula \: required:}}}$

$\dag\underline{ \red{ \boxed{ \blue{ \rm{Loss\%= \frac{Loss}{Cost \: price} \times 100\%}}}}}$

$\dag\underline{ \red{ \boxed{ \blue{ \rm{Loss=Selling \: price-Cost \: price}}}}}$

$\large \underline{ \underline{ \frak{ \color{pink}According \: to \: Question:}}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{Loss}{Cost \: price} \times 100\%}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{Selling \: price-Cost \: price}{Cost \: price} \times 100\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{₹20,000-₹16,000}{₹16,000} \times 100\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{₹4,000}{₹16,000} \times 100\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{₹4, \cancel0 \cancel0 \cancel0}{₹16, \cancel0 \cancel0 \cancel0} \times 100\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{4}{16} \times 100\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{ \cancel4}{ \cancel{16}} \times 100\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{1}{4} \times 100\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%= \frac{1}{ \cancel4} \times \cancel{100}\%}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{ \sf{Loss\%=25 \%}}}$

$\bf \underline{Hence, }$
