➤ Given :-

Selling price of cosmetic :- ₹ 1550

Loss :- ₹ 310

➤ To Find :-

Loss percentage of the cosmetic

➤ Formula required :-

${\large \tt \dashrightarrow \orange{\boxed{\tt \gray{\dfrac{Loss}{Cost \: price} \times 100}}}}$

➤ Solution :-

First, we should find the value of the cost price of the cosmetic by adding the selling price and the loss

Cost price :-

${\tt \longrightarrow 1550 + 310}$

${\tt \longrightarrow Rs \: \: 1860}$

Now,

Loss percentage :-

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{310}{1860} \times 100}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{310}{\cancel{1860}} \times \cancel{100} = \dfrac{310}{93} \times 5}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{1550}{93} = \boxed{\tt 16.66 \bf\%}}$

$\Huge\therefore$ The loss percentage of the cosmetic is 16.66%.
