Question

how to solve this problem?????​

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss % = 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost Price of article represented by C.P.

Selling Price of article represented by S.P.

We are also given that S.P. = (3/4) of C.P.

                                      S.P. = $\frac{3}{4} *CP$ --------- [Equation 1]

Now, Loss = C.P. - S.P.

         Loss = C.P. - $\frac{3}{4} *CP$     { Using equation 1}

         Loss = $\frac{4*CP - 3*CP}{4}$ = $\frac{CP}{4}$

Loss% formula = $\frac{Loss}{CP}*100$

                         = $\frac{\frac{CP}{4} }{CP} *100$ = $\frac{1}{4} *100$ = 25%

Therefore, loss percent is 25%.
