Answer 2

Given :

• Cost price (C.P) = ₹ 300
• Selling price (S.P) = ₹ 100

To find :

• Loss
• Loss percent

Solution :

Here the S.P is less than the C.P so it is clear that it is a loss. We can find the loss by subtracting S.P from C.P and then we can proceed with the loss percent.

★ Loss:-

• C.P - S.P

→ 300 - 100

→ ₹ 200

★ Loss percent:-

• (Loss/C.P) × 100

→ 200/300 × 100

→ 200/3

→ 66(2/3) %

Answer :

• The loss = ₹ 200
• The loss percent = 66(2/3)%
