Let The CP Of Purse = Rs x
On Selling It At Rs 250 She Losses 1/6th Of CP
So Loss = 1/6*x = x/6
Hence
x-x/6 = 250
5x/6 = 250
x = 250*6/5 = Rs 300
So CP = Rs 300
Loss% = Loss/CP * 100
Loss = 300-250 = 50
Loss% = 50/300 * 100 = 16.66%
On Selling It At Rs 250 She Losses 1/6th Of CP
So Loss = 1/6*x = x/6
Hence
x-x/6 = 250
5x/6 = 250
x = 250*6/5 = Rs 300
So CP = Rs 300
Loss% = Loss/CP * 100
Loss = 300-250 = 50
Loss% = 50/300 * 100 = 16.66%
