Answer 1

loss% = loss/C.P×100 loss% = 72/6×100 = 12×100 = 1,200 therefore loss% = 1,200

Answer 2

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume S.P. of one pen = ₹ 1

Total 12 dozens pens

So, S.P. = 12 * 12 * 1 = 144Loss =  ₹ 6

CP = S.P. + Loss = 144 + 6 = ₹ 150

Loss % = Loss*100 / C.P.

           =  6*100/150

           = 4 %
