Answer 1

Answer:

loss % = 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

loss = 2200 - 2090

       = rs.110

loss% = loss/cost price * 100

          = 110/2200 * 100

          = 5%

Answer 2

• Loss percent is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• Cost price of article is ₹2200.
• Selling price of article is ₹2090.

To find:-

• Loss percent.

Solution:-

Loss = Cost price - Selling price

• Loss is price or amount which seller lost/loose after selling something.
• Cost price is price at which item is bought.
• Selling price is the price by which something is sold.

So,

$\longrightarrow$ 2200 - 2090

$\longrightarrow$ 110

Loss is ₹110.

$\boxed{\sf \bold{Loss \: percent = \dfrac{Loss}{C.P} \times 100}}$

[Here, C.P is Cost price]

Put, Loss and cost price in formula :

$\longrightarrow$ Loss percent = 110/2200 × 100

$\longrightarrow$ Loss percent = 11000/2200

$\longrightarrow$ Loss percent = 5

Therefore,

Loss percent is 5%.
