Question

c.p. is half the s.p. find the loss or profit percentage​

Answer 1

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

sp = 100

hence cp = 50

means profit of 50

P% = (p/cp) * 100

     = (50/50) * 100

     = 100%

Answer 2

Given -

C.P. is half the S.P.

To find-

The loss or profit percentage​.

Solution-

As,

C.P. = Cost price

S.P. = Selling price

Given As C.P. is half the S.P.

let, S.P= $x$

C.P. = $\frac{1}{2} \times x$ = $\frac{x}{2}$

As C.P. is half the S.P.

C.P. is less than S.P. So it is loss

Loss Is calculated on the basis of C.P.

As we know that

Loss = $\frac{S.P. - C.P.}{C.P.} \times100$

Loss = $\frac{x-\frac{x}{2} }{\frac{x}{2} } \times 100$

Loss = $\frac{\frac{x}{2} }{\frac{x}{2} } \times 100$

As in numerator and denominator have same value they cancel each other  and get 1.

Loss = $1\times 100$

Loss = $100$ %

The loss percentage is 100%.
