Answer 2

Question:

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

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let the S.P. for one greeting card be x

.°. S.P. for 35 greeting cards = 35x

$cp = sp + loss = 35x + 5x = 4x$

$loss\% = \frac{loss}{c.p.} \times 100 = \frac{5x}{40x} \times 100 = 12 \frac{1}{2} \%$

$so \: the \: loss \: is \: 12 \frac{1}{2}\%$

✰ Sorry dear mate, I forgot to write the loss% before the second step, so that's why I again wrote it.

nd also, after 5x/40x × 100 = 25/2 will be written
