Question

By selling 33 m of cloth, a draper loses an amount equal to the selling price of 3 m of
cloth. Find his gain or loss per cent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

100/12% or 8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Selling Price for each metre cloth be Rs. a

Hence, in case of 33 m cloth,

• Selling Price = Rs. 33a

• Loss = Selling Price of 3 m cloth = Rs. 3a

Thus,

• Cost Price = Selling Price + Loss

                 = Rs. 33a + Rs. 3a

                 = Rs. 36a

Therefore,

Loss Percent = (loss/C.P.) x 100

                      = (3a/36a) x 100

                     = 100/12 or 8.33
