To find :

The loss percentage

Solution :

We know that,

$l\% = \frac{l}{cp} \times 100$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: = ( \dfrac{150}{1250} \times 100)\%$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: = ( \dfrac{15000}{1250} )\%$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 12\%$

• Loss percentage = (L/CP × 100)%
• Profit percentage = (P/CP × 100)%
