Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost price of the washing machine is X
market price of the washing machine = 40% above the cost price of the washing machine
= x + [ x × 40/100 ]
= x + 40x/100
= 140x/100
= 7x/5 rs.
Now , selling price of the washing machine = 35 % less the selling price of the washing machine.
= 7x/5 - [ 7x/5 × 35/100 ]
= 7x/5 - 49x/100
= (140x - 49x)/100
= 91x/100 rs
so, cost price = x
selling price = 91x/100
Here selling price is less than cost price so, the shopkeeper got loss
loss percentage = [CP - SP]/CP × 100
= [x - 91x/100]/x × 100]
= [9x/100] /x × 100
= 9/100 × 100
= 9% answer
