thanks for give a chance to help you

Answer 2

Answer:

Loss percentage is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of each meter of the cloth is x rupees,

So, the selling price of cloth = 66x rupees,

Loss = 22x rupees,

⇒ Cost price = SP + loss = 66x + 22x = 88x,

Hence,

$\text{Loss}\%=\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$

$=\frac{22x}{88x}\times 100$

$=\frac{1}{4}\times 100$

= 25%
