Answer 1

Given
CP =₹250
OHE=₹50
total CP=₹(250+50)
=₹300
LOSS=₹50 (SINCE it's GIVEN)
SO LOSS%=50/300×100=50/3%

Answer 2

The Loss percent is 16.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

CP = ₹250

Other expenses  = ₹50

Loss = ₹50

We need to find the Loss percent.

First we will find the Total CP.

Total CP is equal to sum of CP and other expenses.

framing in equation form we get;

Total CP = ₹250 + ₹50 = ₹300

Now Loss percent can be calculated by Dividing Loss with Total CP and then multiplying with 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Loss percent = $\frac{50}{300}\times 100 = 16.67\%$

Hence the Loss percent is 16.67%.
