Question

FIND GAIN OR LOSS% IF C.P=5200; S.P=5070

Answer 1

C.P=5200
S.P=5070
Since C.P is greater than S.P
Hence,
it's a loss
Loss=C.P-S.P
Loss=5200-5070
Loss=130
We know,
Loss%=Loss/C.P×100
=130/5200×100
=2.5%

Answer 2

$\textbf{\large{Answer -}}$

Given,

C.P = 5200

S.P = 5070

Here, the S.P is less than C.P so it will be a case of loss.

Now, loss = C.P - S.P

》loss = $5200\:-\:5070$

》loss = 130

Now, we have to find loss percentage.

So,

$\boxed{Loss\:percentage=\frac{Loss}{C.P}\times 100}$

》Loss percentage = $\frac{130}{5200}\times 100$

》Loss percentage = $2.5\:\%$

$\textbf{So\:there\:will\:be\:loss\:of\:2.5\:\%}$
