➤ Given :-

Cost price :- ₹ 12000

Selling price :- ₹ 4000

➤ To Find :-

Loss percentage of the given sum..............

➤ Formula required :-

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

➤ Solution :-

First, we should find out the loss in the following sum........

Loss :-

$\tt \longrightarrow 12000 - 4000$

$\sf \longrightarrow \tt 8000$

Now,

Loss percentage :-

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{8000}{12000} \times 100$

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{8000}{ \cancel{12000}} \times \cancel{100} = \dfrac{8000}{120}$

$\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{8000}{120} = 66.6 \bf\%$

$\Huge\therefore$The loss percentage of the given sum is 66.6 $\bf\%$.
