Question

(ii) Find the profit or loss percentage, when:
C.P. = 13600, S.P. = 12104.​

Answer 1

Given :

• C.P = Rs. 13600
• S.P = Rs. 12104

Find :

• The profit or loss percentage.

Solution :

☆Formula Used -

• Loss = C.P. − S.P.

Substituting the Values :

= 13600 − 12104

= Rs.1496

Here, Next Formula -

• Loss% = [Loss/C.P × 100] %

Substituting the Values :

= [1496/13600 × 100] %

So we get,

= 1496/136%

= 11%

Therefore,

• Hence, the loss percentage is 11%.

Answer 2

Given :-

C.P = 13600

S.P = 12104

To find :-

Profit or loss % = !?

Solution →

[ The cost price is greater than the selling price , it's a loss ]

Loss = C.P - S.P

Loss = 13600 - 12104

Loss = 1496

Now,

To find the loss percentage →

$loss\% \: = \frac{loss}{c.p} \times 100 \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{1496}{13600} \times 100 \ \\ \\ = \frac{1496}{136} \\ \\ = 11\: \: \:$
