Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

$\textsf{Cost of 10 calculator = Selling price of 16 calculator}$

To find :

$\textsf{Profit or loss percentage of the calculator}$

Concept :

To find the loss or profit percent use this formula :

$\sf\boxed{\dfrac{10}{16}\times100\%}$

If the answer will come above the 100 % . Then , the price will be at profit . And to find profit percent subtract the answer with the 100 % .

And if there the answer will come below 100 % . Then , the price go loss . And if it will be loss then subtract 100 % with the answer .

Solution :

$\sf\implies{\dfrac{10}{16}\times100\%}$

$\sf\implies{\dfrac{10}{4}\times25}$

$\sf\implies{\dfrac{\cancel{250}}{\cancel{4}}}$

$\sf\implies{62.5\%}$

So , answer came below the 100 % . So , it is the loss .

Now , loss percent -:

$\sf\implies{L\%=100\%-62.5\%}$

$\sf\implies{L\%=37.5\%}$

So , the loss percentage is 37.5 % .

Answer :

Loss percentage = 37.5 %
