Question

cp is 2500 sp is 2000 find out profit andloss Percent

Answer 1

Here CP is more than SP so it is a loss

loss by how much = (?)

loss = CP – SP

= 2500 – 2000
= 500 Rs

Loss percent = Loss / CP × 100

= 500 × 100 / 2500

= 500 / 25

loss percent = 20%

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Heya!
We can't find both loss and profit percent simultaneously. The answer can either be a profit or a  loss depending on the cp and sp. In the above question, you sold an object for a low price than the price you bought it, so, its a loss .Loss=  cp-sp=  2500-2000  =500 rupees.
So, loss percent=loss/cost price*100
                          =500/2500*100
                          =20%loss

     Hope this helped. If yes, mark as brainiest :))
