Question

By selling 144 hens, Mala lost the S.P. of 6 hens. Find her loss%.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let SP of 1 hen = Rs 1

Then, SP of 6 hens = Rs 6

SP of 144 hens = Rs 144

From above :

SP of 144 hens = Rs 144

Loss = Rs 6

CP of 144 hens

= (SP+Loss)

= Rs (144+6)

= Rs 150

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: Loss\% \\ = ( \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100)\% \\ = (\frac{6}{150} \times 100)\% \\ = 4\%$
