Answer 2

GIVEN:

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

TO FIND:

• What is the loss % ?

SOLUTION:

Firstly, we have to find the Cost price (C.P) of the saree

To find the C.P of the saree, we use the formula:-

$\bf{\star \: Loss = C.P - S.P \: \star}$

According to question:-

$\rm{\dashrightarrow 15 = C.P - 500 }$

$\rm{\dashrightarrow 15+500 = C.P }$

$\bf{\dashrightarrow \star \: Rs. \: 515 = C.P\: \star}$

❝ C.P of the saree is Rs. 515 ❞

To find the loss % of saree, we use the formula:-

$\bf{\star \: Loss \% = \bigg(\dfrac{Loss \times 100}{C.P}\bigg)\: \star}$

According to question:-

$\rm{\dashrightarrow Loss \% = \bigg(\dfrac{15 \times 100}{515}\bigg) }$

$\rm{\dashrightarrow Loss \% = \bigg(\dfrac{1500}{515}\bigg) }$

$\rm{\dashrightarrow Loss \% = \bigg(\cancel\dfrac{1500}{515}\bigg) }$

$\bf{\dashrightarrow \star \: Loss \% = 2.91 \% \: \star}$

❝ Hence, the Loss % of saree is 2.91 % ❞
