Question

by selling 144hens Mala lost the sp Of 6hens. find her loss %

Answer 1

Answer :

Loss = 4 %

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the selling price of each hen be x.

Then, SP of 144 hens = 144 x.

Now,

Loss = SP of 6 hens

       = 6x

Cost Price = SP + Loss

                = 144x + 6x

               = 150x

Now,

Loss % = Loss / CP * 100

            = $\frac{6x}{150x} \times 100$

            = 4 %

Hence, the required loss percent is 4 %

Answer :-

Let the Selling Price of each Hen be x

Given :-

Total hens = 144

So,

Total Selling price = 144x

Hence, Loss = 6x

•°•Total Cost Price = 144x+6x = 150 x

Now,

$loss\% = \frac{6x}{150x} \times 100 \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{6}{150} \times 100 = 4\%$

$<b>Hence loss %= 4%</b>$
