Answer 1

We have

cost Price of article=850

selling price of articles=595

suppose :- loss=cp-sl

loss=850-595= 255

we know

according to the formula

loss% =100×loss/cost price

Putting the value:-

$loss = 100 \times \frac{255}{850} \\ loss = \frac{25500}{850} \\ loss = \frac{2550}{85} = 30\%$
