Answer:

cp=8oooox loo/125=64ooo

Loss %= 8000/64ooox loo=l 2 1/2 12 1/2%

Answer 2

The loss percent is 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that by selling a small plot for rs 80,000, i gain 25% .

Let x be the cost of plot.

$x+\dfrac{25}{100}x=80000$

$x+0.25x=80000$

$1.25x=80000$

Divide both sides by 1.25.

$x=\dfrac{80000}{1.25}$

$x=64000$

Therefore, the loss percent is 12.5%.

Formula for loss percentage is

$Loss\%=\dfrac{CP-SP}{CP}\times 100$

where, SP is selling price and CP is cost price.

Substitute CP=64000 and SP=56000 in the above formula.

$Loss\%=\dfrac{64000-56000}{64000}\times 100$

$Loss\%=\dfrac{8000}{64000}\times 100$

$Loss\%=\dfrac{1}{8}\times 100$

$Loss\%=12.5$

Therefore, the loss percent is 12.5%.
