Question

find the loss or gain has percent if the cost price of 10 articles all of the same kind is equal to selling price of 8 articles​

Answer 1

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the the sell price of 10 articles be Rs x.

The sell price of 1 articles =Rs x/10

The sell price of 10 articles = the cost price of 8 articles

The cost price of 8 articles=Rs x

The cost price of 1 article=Rs x/8

Here,the cost price of 1 article is greater than the sell price of 1 article.

Loss=cost price - sell price

=Rs( X/8-x/10)

=Rs X/40

Percent loss=loss /cost price ×100

Percent loss=x/40\x/8 × 100

Percent loss=x/40×8/x × 100

20 percent loss ( ans)
