Find the loss of the problem

Sam buys a bike @₹10000 and sells it at ₹3500.Find the loss percentage....​​

Answer 1

➤ Answer :-

Loss percentage =

$\longrightarrow \tt \: \frac{loss}{cost \: price} \times 100$

$\longrightarrow \tt \: \frac{3500}{10000} \times 100$

$\longrightarrow \tt \: \frac{3500}{ \cancel {10000} } \times \cancel{100} = \frac{3500}{100} \times 1$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cancel \frac{3500}{100} = \frac{35}{1} = 35$

$\longrightarrow \tt \:35 \: \%$

$\Huge\therefore$The loss percentage is 35%.
