Question

by. what selling 33 m of carpet. a man loses an amount equal to. the selling. price of. 6m of carpet. find his gain or loss percent. briefly

Answer 1

Let CP of 1 m be 'x' Rs. and S.P of 1 m be 'y' Rs.
C.P of 33 m = 33x
S.P of 33 m = 33y
Given loss= S.P of 6 m = 6y                                                                               6y = 33x - 33y  [Loss = C.P - S.P]
39y = 33x------ 13y = 11x
x:y = 13: 11---- x:y===C.P : S.P = 13:11
CP=13, SP=11
Loss% = 13-11/13 * 100 = 2/13 * 100 = 15 5/13 % or 15.38%
       Alternate
Loss = C.P - S.P
6SP = 33C.P - 33S.P
39SP=33CP
11CP = 13 SP------CP:SP = 13:11
Hence, Loss% = 2/13 * 100 = 15.38%

Answer 2

Answer:

Let CP of 1 m be 'x' Rs. and S.P of 1 m be 'y' Rs.

C.P of 33 m = 33x

S.P of 33 m = 33y

Given loss= S.P of 6 m = 6y                                                                               6y = 33x - 33y  [Loss = C.P - S.P]

39y = 33x------ 13y = 11x

x:y = 13: 11---- x:y===C.P : S.P = 13:11

CP=13, SP=11

Loss% = 13-11/13 * 100 = 2/13 * 100 = 15 5/13 % or 15.38%

      Alternate

Loss = C.P - S.P

6SP = 33C.P - 33S.P

39SP=33CP

11CP = 13 SP------CP:SP = 13:11

Hence, Loss% = 2/13 * 100 = 15.38%
