Answer 1

Answer:

Loss = rs. 400

Loss%=5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss = cost price - selling price

Loss = 8000-7600

Loss = 400

Loss % = loss/cp×100

Loss% = 400/8000×100

Loss% = 5%

The loss is rs. 400 and the loss % is 5%

Answer 2

Question :

Dipa bought a watch for Rs 8000 and sold it at Rs 7600. Find the loss and loss percentage.

Solution :

$\underline{\bold{Given:}}$

• Cost Price=Rs 8000
• Selling Price = Rs 7600

$\underline{\bold{To\:Find:}}$

• Loss and Loss percentage.

$\because{Cost\:Price\:is \:greater \:than\:Selling \:Price,\:there\: is \:a\: loss.}$

$\fbox{\pink {Loss=Cost\:Price-Selling\:Price }}$

$\implies Loss =Cost\:Price -Selling\:Price \\\implies Loss = Rs\:8000-Rs\:7600\\\implies Loss=Rs\:400$

$\fbox {\green {Loss=Rs\:400}}$

$\boxed {\blue{Loss\%=(\frac {Loss}{Cost\:Price}\times 100)\% }}$

$\implies Loss\%=(\frac {Loss}{Cost\:Price}\times 100)\%\\\implies Loss\%=(\frac {400}{8000}\times 100)\%\\\implies Loss\%=5\%$

$\fbox {\green {Loss\%=5\%}}$
