An article was bought for Rs 400 and sold for Rs 350. Then the loss% is​

Answer 1

Answer: The Loss percentage is 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = Rs. 400

SP = Rs. 350

Loss = 400-350 = Rs. 50.

Therefore, Loss Percentage = Loss x 100/CP

50x100/400

=12.5%

Answer 2

Loss percent= 12.5%

Here,Cost price = ₹400

And selling price = ₹350

Loss = ₹50

Now,loss percent = Loss/Cost price*100

= 50/ 400*100

= 50/4

= 25/2

= 12.5%

Hence,loss percent is 12.5%
