➤ Given :-

Cost price :- ₹ 5250

Selling price :- ₹ 5145

➤ To Find :-

Loss and loss percentage of the given sum...........

➤ Formulas required :-

Loss :-

$\large \tt \dashrightarrow \orange{ \boxed{ \tt \gray{CP - SP}}}$

Loss percentage :-

$\large\tt \dashrightarrow \orange{ \boxed{ \tt \gray{ \frac{Loss}{Cost \: Price} \times 100 }}}$

➤ Solution :-

Loss :-

$\tt \longrightarrow5250 - 5145$

$\tt \longrightarrow105$

Now,

Loss percentage :-

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{105}{5250} \times 100$

$\tt \dashrightarrow \dfrac{105 \times 100}{5250} = \dfrac{10500}{5250}$

$\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{10500}{5250} = \boxed { \tt 2 \bf\%}$

$\Huge\therefore$The loss is ₹ 105 and loss percentage is 2 $\bf\%$.

Answer 2

Given information,

cost price= Rs. 5250

selling price= Rs. 5145

To find-

The value of loss and loss percentage.

Solution -

As we know that,

Loss = $cp - sp$

Where,

CP = cost price

SP = selling price

So by putting the given values in the formula

Loss = $5250 - 5145$

Loss $= 105$

Loss is Rs. 105

we know that,

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

Loss percentage =$\frac{105}{5250} \times 100$

Loss percentage = $\frac{105}{525} \times 10$

Multiply the 105 by 10 we get

Loss percentage = $\frac{1050}{525}$

By dividing 1050 by 525 we get

Loss percentage = $2$

Hence,

Loss is Rs. 105 .

Loss percentage is 2% .
