Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Article was sold at = Rs. 34

Profit = Rs. 4

To find :

Profit/Loss % when article is sold at Rs. 24

Solution :

\textsf{\underline{\underline{Case I -}}}

Here ;

  • Selling Price = Rs. 34
  • Profit = Rs. 4
  • Cost Price = ??

Profit = \boxed{\sf{Selling\: Price-Cost\: Price}}

⇒ 4 = 34 - CP

⇒ CP = 34 - 4

⇒ CP = 30

Cost Price = Rs. 30

\rule{300}{1.5}

\textsf{\underline{\underline{Case II -}}}

Here ;

  • Selling Price = Rs. 24
  • Cost Price = Rs. 30
  • Profit/Loss % = ??

30 > 24

CP > SP

\therefore It is Loss !

\rule{300}{1.5}

Loss= \boxed{\sf{Cost\: Price-Selling\: Price}}

⇒ Loss = 30 - 24

Loss = 6 rupees

\rule{300}{1.5}

\bigstar \: {\boxed{\sf\:{Loss\% =  \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100}}}

\sf{\implies} \: Loss \: \% = \dfrac{6}{30} \times 100 \\  \\ \sf{\implies} \: Loss \: \% = \dfrac{1}{5} \times 100  \\  \\ \sf{\implies} \: Loss \: \% =20 \: \%

Loss % = 20 %

\therefore The Loss % is of 20 %.
