Answer 1

Answer:

The loss percentage obtained by selling 144 hens will be 4%.

Solution:

Let SP of 144 hens = Rs 144.

Given,  

Loss = SP of 6 hens.

So, SP of 6 hens = Rs 6.

Thus, Loss= Rs 6

CP = SP + loss= 144 + 6=150

We know that, loss percentage will be obtained from,

$\begin{array} { c } { \tex { Loss } \% = \frac { \tex { Loss} } { C P } \times 100 } \\\\ { = \frac { 6 } { 150 } \times 100 = 4 \% } \end{array}$

Therefore, the loss percentage obtained by selling 144 hens will be 4%.
