Question

Karishma purchased a computer for 38,250 and spent
750 on transport. He sold it for 38,220. Find his
profit or loss in percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total overheads = ( 38250 + 750)

= 39000

sp of computer = 38220

there is a loss

loss = (cp - sp )

= (39000 - 38220)

= 780

loss% = (780 ×100/39000)

= 2%

Answer 2

AnswEr :

$\bullet\:\textsf{CP = (Cost Price + Expense)}\\\!\:\:\:\:\textsf{CP = Rs. (38250 + 750)}\\\!\:\:\:\:\textsf{CP = Rs. 39000}\\\\\bullet\:\textsf{SP = Rs. 38220}$

$\rule{150}{1}$

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{Calculation of Loss Percentage :}}$

$:\implies\tt Loss\% = \dfrac{Loss}{CP} \times 100\\\\\\:\implies\tt Loss\% = \dfrac{(CP-SP)}{CP} \times 100\\\\\\:\implies\tt Loss\% = \dfrac{Rs.(39000-38220)}{Rs. 39000} \times 100\\\\\\:\implies\tt Loss\% = \dfrac{Rs. 780}{Rs. 39000} \times 100\\\\\\:\implies\tt Loss\% = \cancel\dfrac{Rs. 78000}{Rs. 39000}\\\\\\:\implies\boxed{\tt Loss\% =2\%}$

⠀

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{Karishma incurred loss of \textbf{2 \%.}}}$

$\rule{200}{2}$

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{7 cm}\underline{\text{Some Important Formulae Related to it :}}\\ \\ SP=CP\times(100+\sf Profit)\%\\ \\SP=CP\times(100-Loss)\%\\ \\Profit\%=\dfrac{Profit}{CP}\times100 \\ \\Loss\%=\dfrac{Loss}{CP}\times100\end{minipage}}$
