Question

If the cost price of 10 articles is equal to the selling price of 16 articles. Then the loss%is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

loss % = (16-10)/16 × 100

= 6/16 × 100

= 3/8 × 100

= 300/8 = 75/2 = 37.5 %

Answer 2

${\huge{\blue {\underline {\underline {\mathfrak {\pink {Answer}}}}}}}$

Let the C.P of 1 articles = ₹1

C.P of 16 articles = ₹16

S.P of 16 articles = C.P of 10 articles

[Given]

S.P of 16 articles = ₹10

s.p < cp

Loss= s.p - c.p

Loss= 16- 10= ₹ 6

Loss= ₹ 6

Loss% =( loss /c.p) ×100

Gain = (6/16) ×100

Gain=  (3× 50) / 4= 150/ 4= 37.5%

Gain= 37.5%
