Question

Find the loss percent if CP-200,SP-180​

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer will be 10%

Answer 2

Given :

• Selling Price (S.P) = Rs 180
• Cost Price (C.P) = Rs 200

To Find :

• Gain or Lose %

Solution :

• Here, as we are given that S.P and C.P , so to find gain or loss %, we have to find whether here is gain or loss.
• In order to calculate gain or loss, we'll compare C.P and S.P. If S.P is greater than there is gain, if C.P is greater than there is loss.
• And then we'll find the gain or loss % by the given formula:

If there is gain :

• Gain% = Gain / C.P × 100

If there is loss :

• Loss% = Loss / C.P × 100

__________________

S.P = Rs 180

C.P = Rs 200

•›» Since, C.P is greater than S.P. Thus, there is Loss. We know that :

➞ Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

➞ Loss = 200 - 180

➞ Loss = Rs 20

Clearly, there is a Loss of Rs 20 Now, we have to find the rate of loss i.e loss% . So, we know that :

⟾ Loss% = Loss / C.P × 100

⟾ Loss% = 20 / 200 × 100

⟾ Loss% = 20 / 20 × 10

⟾ Loss% = 20 / 2

⟾ Loss% = 10%

Thus Loss% is 10%
