Question

By selling 35 greeting cards, a shopkeeper loses an amount equal to the selling price of five greeting cards. Find his loss percent.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sold 35 cards

loose price of 5 cards

35-5=30

it meams he sold cards 30 in total price

now

if a card is of...........rs

multiply them with 30 then ig is selling price

Answer 2

let the selling price of one greeting card be Rs x

therefore price of 35 greeting cards will be 35 × x which will be 35x

Loss=rs 5x

CP of 35 greeting cards = Rs (35 + 5)x = rs 40x

loss % = loss/cp × 100

= 5x/40x × 100 = 12.5%
