Question

Find the gain or loss percent when :C.P. ₹800,S.P. ₹ 720

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cp=₹800

sp=₹720

here cp is greater than sp,so loss.

loss=cp-sp=₹800-₹720=₹80

loss percent=(loss/cp×100)%

=(₹80/₹800×100)%=10%

Answer 2

Answer:

• Loss = 10 %

Given :

• C. P = ₹ 800

• S. P = ₹ 720

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 - 720

∴ Loss = 80

Now,

Loss % = 100 × Loss / C. P

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

= 100 x 80/800

= 80/8

= 10

Hence,

Loss = 10 %
