Question

by selling 140 hens. Ramesh lost the S.P. of 10 hens.Find his loss percent.

Answer 1

 Let S.P. of 1 hen = Rs 1

Then, S.P. of 140 hens =  Rs ( 1 X 140 ) = Rs 140

Loss = S.P. of 40 hens = Rs 140

C.P. of 140 hens = S.P. + Loss = Rs ( 140 + 10 ) = Rs 150

Loss% = Loss/C.P. X 100 = 10/150 X 100 = 1/15 X 100 = 100/15 = 20/3 % ( 100 and 20 cut by 5 )
