Given :Abhishek bought a car for 85000 and spend 5000 on its repair

Answer = loss percent is 8

Answer 2

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P of the car=85,000

overhead charges=5000

total cp=85000+5000=90000

s.p=82800

as s.p<c.p

loss occurs

loss=cp-sp

=90000-82800

=7200

loss%=loss*100/cp

=7200*100/90000

=8%
