Question

by selling 33m of cloth a draper loses an amount equal to the selling price of 3 metre of cloth .find his gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Let x be the price of 1 m cloth.

Then,

Price of 33m cloth =  33x

Price of 3m cloth = 3x i.e. loss

So, Selling price of cloth = CP - Loss

                                            = 33x - 3m

                                            = 30x

∴ Loss % $= \frac{3x}{33x}$ x 100

                $= \frac{3}{33}$ x 100

                $= \frac{100}{11}$

                = 9.09% 

Hope This Helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

9.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of 1 m cloth.

Then,

Price of 33m cloth =  33x

Price of 3m cloth = 3x i.e. loss

So, Selling price of cloth = CP - Loss

                                           = 33x - 3m

                                           = 30x

∴ Loss %  = 3\33x 100

                = 100\11

                = 9.09%
