Answer 1

• Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost price
• Loss = Cost price – Selling price
• Profit Percentage = [Profit/C.P.]×100
• Percentage Loss = [Loss/C.P.]×100

a) CP=65.85

SO=55.25

Profit= 55.25 - 65.85

Loss = 10.6

loss percentage = (10.6/65.85) *100

= 16.09%

b) Loss= 185.75-172.50

=13.25

loss percentage= (13.25/185.75)*100

= 7.13%
