Question

by selling 150 Hens, raghav lost the SP of 10 hen. find his profit loss percent

Answer 1

let the selling price of 1 hen = Rs 1

selling price of 150 hens = 150 ×1
= Rs 150
selling price of 10 hens = 10×1 =Rs 10

cost price = selling price - loss

cost price = 150 - 10 =Rs 140

c.p of 150 hens = Rs 140

c.p of 1 hen = 140/150=Rs 0.9

loss=c.p of 10 hens=10×0.9
= Rs 9

loss% = loss / cost price × 100

=9 /140 × 100

= 900 / 140

= 6.42 %

therefore his loss % = 6.42

Answer 2

Answer: Loss Percent = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the selling price of 1 hen = Rs 1

selling price of 150 hens = 150 ×1

= Rs 150

selling price of 10 hens = 10×1 =Rs 10

cost price = selling price + loss

cost price = 150 + 10 =Rs 160

c.p of 150 hens = Rs 160

loss=c.p -sp

= 160-150

= Rs 10

loss% = loss / cost price × 100

=10 /160 × 100

= 6.25 %

therefore his loss % = 6.25
