Question

find profit percent or loss percent if a pencil box is bought for rupees 250 and sold at rupees 150​

Answer 1

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P = 250

S.P = 150

Here, then C.P > S.P

Loss = C.P - S.P

        = 250 - 150

        = 100

Loss percentage = Loss/C.P x 100%

                            = 100/250 x 100%

                            = 10/25 x 100%

                            = 2/5 x 100%

                            = 2 x 100%

                            = 40%
