Answer 2

Given:

• Cost Price = 12,000 rupees
• Selling Price = 9,000 rupees

To Find:

• Loss =?
• Loss percent = ?

Solution:

As per given in the question,Cost Price and Selling Price is given and we are directly said that we have to find loss percent so firstly we have to find loss and as we know loss is equal to Cost Price subtracting from Selling Price and after that Loss percent is Loss divide Cost Price is multiple of 100.So let's find!

Using Formula:

$\: \: \sf \: loss = cp - sp$

Now substitute the values

$\: \: \: \sf \: loss = 12000 - 9000 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: loss = 3000 \: rupees$

Hence,Loss is 3000 rupees on cot.

Now find loss percent.

As we know

$\: \: \sf \: loss \: percent = \frac{loss}{cost \: price} \times 100$

Now substitute the values

$\: \: \: \sf \: loss \: percent = \frac{300 \cancel0}{12 \cancel0 \cancel0 \cancel0} \times 1 \cancel0 \cancel0 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: = \frac{100}{4} percent$

Hence, Loss percent is 100/4 percent.
