GIVEN
Lalitabai sowed seeds worth 13700 in her field
She had to spend 5300 on fertilizers and spraying pesticides
She spend 7160 on labour

what was her profit or her loss
___________________________
To find that what was her profit or her loss
we need to find the total amount she spend
Total amount = seeds amount + fertilizers and spraying pesticides amount + labour amount
Total amount = 13700 + 5300 + 35400
Total amount = 54400
Total amount = ₹54400
She spend ₹54400
___________________________
She spend more amount than she earned
Therefore she get loss
Now,
let's find that what was her loss
Loss = Spend amount - earned amount
Loss = 54400 - 35400
Loss = 19000
Loss = ₹19000
She get loss of ₹19000
___________________________
Let's find the loss percent
Loss percent = ( Loss × 100 ) /Cost Price
Loss percent = ( 19000 × 100 ) / 54400
Loss percent = 1900000 / 54400
