Question

By selling 288 hens, Malla lost the S.P. of 12 hens. Find her loss percentage? .

Answer 1

Given :

• Selling hens = 288
• Malla lost the S.P. of 12 hens.

To find :

• Loss percentage

Solution :

Let ,

S.P of 1 hen = Rs 1

Therefore

S.P of 288 hens = Rs 288 × 1 = Rs 288

and

Loss = S.P of 12 hens

= Rs 12 × 1 = Rs 12

therefore ,

C.P of 288 hens = S.P + Loss

= Rs 288 + Rs 12 = Rs 300

So ,

$Loss = \frac{Loss}{C.P} \times 100$

$= \frac{12}{300} \times 100 = 4$
