Question

cp =1800 sp=1000 .find gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Answer:

400/9% or 44.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price : The amount at which an item is bought is known as cost price.

Selling Price : The amount at which an item is sold.

Gain : The difference between the selling price and cost price, when selling price is greater than the cost price.

Loss : The difference between the cost price and selling price, when cost price is greater than the selling price.

Percentage : A number expressed as a fraction of 100.

Given,

Cost Price = 1800

Selling Price = 1000

Since, Cost Price > Selling Price, a loss is incurred.

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

Loss = 1800 - 1000

Loss = 800

Now,

Loss% = ( Loss/Cost Price  x 100 )%

Loss% = ( 800/1800  x 100 )%

Loss% = ( 4/9  x 100 )%

Loss% = 400/9%

Therefore, Loss% = 400/9% or 44.44%

Hope it Helps!

Answer 2

given,
CP = 1800
SP = 1000
LOSS = 1800-1000
=> 800
Loss% = (Loss /CP ×100)
=> (800/1800×100)
=> 80000/1800
=> 44.45
hence the required loss percent is 44.45%
