Question

Find the loss% if SP=Rs 72 and Loss=Rs 9.

Answer 1

Total price is loss+SP
=72+9=81

Loss%=9/81 *100
=100/9
=9.21%

Answer 2

Answer:

11.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss percentage = (Loss × 100) / C.P

Here Cost Price = Selling Price + Loss

I.e 72+ 9 = 81

so loss% = (9 x 100)/81

= 900/81

= 11.11 %
