Question

CP=40 SP=20 L/P= what's the dolution



​

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss is of ₹ 20.

Loss percentage is 50% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

SP = ₹ 20

CP = ₹ 40

Find gain or loss percentage.

As,

CP is more than SP. So, loss occurred.

Loss = cp - sp

Where,

SP= Selling price

CP = Cost price

By putting given values

$loss = 40 - 20$

$loss = 20$

So,

Loss is of ₹ 20.

We know that,

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

By putting given values

Loss percentage = $\frac{20}{40} \times 100$

By dividing 20 and 40 by 10 we get

Loss percentage = $\frac{2}{4} \times 100$

Loss percentage = $\frac{2 \times 100}{4}$

Loss percentage = $\frac{200}{4}$

Loss percentage $= 50$

Hence,

Loss percentage is 50% .
