Question

Kirti bought a saree for ₹2500 and sold it for ₹2300 find her loss and loss percentage.

Answer 1

Given information,

cost price = ₹ 2500

selling price = ₹ 2300

To find-

The value of loss and loss percentage.

Solution -

As we know that,

Loss = $cp - sp$

Where,

CP = cost price

SP = selling price

So by putting the given values in the formula

Loss = $2500-2300$

Loss $= 200$

Loss is ₹ 200

we know that,

Loss percentage = $\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100$

Loss percentage = $\frac{200}{2500} \times 100$

By dividing 2500 and 100 by 100 we get

Loss percentage = $\frac{200}{25}$

By dividing 200 by 25 we get

Loss percentage = $8$

Hence,

Loss is ₹ 200 .

Loss percentage is 8 % .

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence the loss is Rs.200 and a Loss percentage of 8%.

Step-by-step explanation:
