Answer 2

Answer:

• Loss = 39.375 %

Given :

• C. P = ₹ 800

• S. P = ₹ 485

To find :

• Loss % = ?

Step-by-step explanation:

C. P is greater than S. P

So, it is clear that we have to find loss percent,

Firstly,

Loss = C. P - S. P

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

Loss = 800 - 485

∴ Loss = 315

Now,

Loss % = 100 × Loss / C. P

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

= 100 x 315/800

= 315/8

= 39.375

Hence,

Loss = 39.375 %
