Answer 1

Answer:

Swarn's loss is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the selling price (SP) of one hen = x

Total SP = 144x

Loss = 6x .......(given)

Now,

Loss = CP - SP, where CP = cost price

CP = Loss + SP

=> CP = 6x + 144x

=> CP = 150x

The cost price (CP) of 144 hens is 150x

Loss% = 100*(Loss/CP)

=> Loss% = 100*(6x/150x)

                = 100*(6/150)

                = 100*(0.04)

                =4

Loss% = 4, which means Loss = 4%
