Question

if the lost incurred in a transaction is three fifth of the selling price find the loss percentage​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P. = x

L = 3/5x

L% = ?

L= C.P - S.P

3/5x = C.P. - x

3/5x + x = C.P.

(3x+5x)/5 = C.P.

8x/5 =C.P.

L% = L/C.P. *100

L% = (3x/5)/(8x/5)*100

L% = 3x/5*5/8x*100

L% = 75/2/% = 37 1/2% = 37.5%
