Question

If loss is 1/3 of s.p, the loss percentage is...

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss = S.P / 3

Loss = C.P - S.P

S.P / 3 = C.P - S.P

C.P = S.P / 3 + S.P

C.P = 4S.P / 3

Loss% = Loss / C.P x 100

          = (S.P / 3  ÷ 4S.P / 3) x 100

          = 1/4 x 100

          = 25%
