Answer 2

Given information,

CP = Rs. 80

Loss = 5

To find-

The value of loss or profit percentage.

Solution -

As loss is occurred we have to find out the loss percentage.

As we know that,

Loss = $cp - sp$

Where,

CP = cost price

SP = selling price

So by putting the given values in the formula

$5=80 - sp$

$sp = 80-5$

$sp=75$

Selling price Rs. 75

we know that,

Loss percentage = $\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100$

Loss percentage =$\frac{5}{80} \times 100$

Loss percentage = $\frac{5}{8} \times 10$

Multiply the 5 by 10 we get

Loss percentage = $\frac{50}{8}$

By dividing 50 by 8 we get

Loss percentage = $6.25$

Hence,

Loss percentage is 6.25 % .
