Question

Hema buys a music system for Rs.8000 and sells it for Rs.6,500. Find the loss percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

18.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey man, hoping you are having a nice day.

This question is the basic of profit and loss.

CP = 8000

CP = 8000SP = 6500

CP = 8000SP = 6500CP > SP = Loss

CP = 8000SP = 6500CP > SP = LossLoss = 8000-6500 = 1500

CP = 8000SP = 6500CP > SP = LossLoss = 8000-6500 = 1500Loss% = (Loss/Cp)*100

CP = 8000SP = 6500CP > SP = LossLoss = 8000-6500 = 1500Loss% = (Loss/Cp)*100= (1500/8000)*100

CP = 8000SP = 6500CP > SP = LossLoss = 8000-6500 = 1500Loss% = (Loss/Cp)*100= (1500/8000)*100=3/16*100==18.75

Answer 2

Answer:

23.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given = The cost price of music system = Rs. 8000

             The selling price of music system = Rs. 6,500

To Find = The loss percentage

Solution -

The loss in rupees = Cost price - Selling price

The loss in rupees = 8000 - 6,500

The loss in rupees = 1,500

Now, the loss percentage = (Loss incurred / Cost price) x 100

Refer to the attachment.

300/13 = 23.07

Therefore, the loss percentage = 23.07%
