Question

How to Find loss % ¥ 9100 and ¥ 8281.

Answer 1

a) How to find loss % ?

b) ¥9100 and ¥ 8281 .......

a) Explanation -

--> Whenever the cost price is greater than the selling price, loss is calculated...

--> loss = CP - SP

--> loss % = loss ÷ CP × 100

$\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100$

--> For eg.

The cost price of a mug is 100 RS and selling price is 50 RS... calculate the loss %

As CP > SP, loss is there

loss = 100 - 50 = 50 RS.

loss % =

$\frac{50}{100} \times 100$

= 50%

b) Solution -

--> Here, ¥ 9100 is the CP and ¥ 8281 is the SP

--> As, CP > SP , loss is there

--> loss = ¥9100 - ¥8281 = ¥819

--> loss % =

$\frac{819}{9100} \times 100$

= 9% is the loss

Hope it helps you....
