Question

If the cost price of 4 watches is equal to the selling price of 5 watches. how much is the profit percentage or loss

Answer 1

Let CP of 1 watch be 100
Then CP of 4 watches= 4× 100= Rs 400
SP of 5 watches = Rs 400
SP of 1 watch = Rs 400/5 = Rs 80
Loss= Rs(100-80) = Rs 20
L% = (20/100 ×100)%
= 20%

Answer 2

Answer:

20% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

c.p of 1 watch be 100

4×100= 400

s.p of 5 watch = rs. 400

1 watch = 400÷5= 80

loss = 100-80= 20

loss % 20÷100× 100

20% loss
