Answer 2

Before, finding the answer. Let's find out on how we can find the answer.

• To determine whether it is Profit or Loss, we have to check by using this technique :

Profit = S.P > C.P

Loss = C.P > S.P

• After, we find out that. We must subtract both Selling Price and Cost Price to find the Profit/Loss.
• Now, here we have to use the formula of :

$\sf Profit \: or \: loss \%= \dfrac{Profit/Loss}{C.P} \times 100$

Given :

• C.P = Rs. 1500
• S.P = Rs. 250

To find :

• profit or loss%

Solution :

Since,

C.P > S.P here is a loss.

Loss = C.P - S.P

        = Rs. 1500 - 250

        = Rs. 1250

Loss % = $\sf \dfrac{Loss}{C.P} \times 100$

            = $\sf \dfrac{1250}{1500} \times 100$

            = $\sf \dfrac{125000}{1500}$

            = 83.3 %

Hence, Loss % is 83.3 %.
