Question

Pen bought at 12 for a Rupee and sold at 9 for a Rupee find the gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Hey mate!!!

HERE IS THE ANSWER

Given

Cp of a pen =12 rupees

SP of a pen =9 rupees

since CP > SP

so its a case of loss

loss = CP - SP

LOSS =RUPEES (12-9)


=3 RUPEES

LOSS PRECENTAGE

$= \frac{loss}{cp} \times 100 \\ = \frac{3}{12} \times 100 \\ = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 \\ = 25\%$
hope it helps to you.
