Answer-
It is loss with a percentage of 40%.

Step By Step Explanation:-

In the Context to the given, we have to find the profit or loss percentage
According to the given data,

Cost Price = 3000/-
Selling Price = 1800/-

To find whether it’s a Profit or loss,
We know that,

Profit or loss = Selling price - Cost Price
Profit or loss = 1800 - 3000
Profit or loss = -1200

As the answer is negative
It is a loss of Rs 1200/-

Loss = 1200RS

Now,We have to find the loss percentage

Loss percentage = (Loss/Cost price) x 100

By putting the values
We get;

Loss percentage = (1200/3000) x 100
By division we get:

Loss percentage = 0.4 x 100

Loss percentage = 40%

Therefore,
Loss percentage is of 40%
