loss % = 2.91%

Answer 2

Given:-

• Loss = Rs. 15
• Selling price (S.P.) = Rs. 500

To find:-

• Find the loss % ?

Solution:-

We have,

The Cost price (C.P) of the saree.

=> Loss = C.P - S.P

According to question:-

=> 15 = C.P - 500

=> 15 + 500 = C.P

=> 515 = C.P

=> C.P = 515

C.P of the saree is Rs. 515.

The loss % of saree.

=> Loss% = (loss × 100/C.P)

According to the question:-

=> Loss% = (15 × 100/515)

=> Loss% = (1500/515)

=> Loss% = 2.91 %

Hence, the Loss % of saree is 2.91% .

Some Important:-

Profit:-

• Profit = S.P - C.P
• S.P = C.P + Profit
• C.P = S.P - Profit

Profit% = (Profit/C.P) × 100

Loss:-

• Loss% = C.P - S.P
• C.P = S.P + Loss
• S.P = C.P - Loss

Loss% = (Loss/C.P) × 100
