Answer 1

Question -:

Find the loss percent if C.P = Rs 200 and S.P = Rs 180.

$\huge\orange{\underline{\overline{\tt\: Answer}}\mid}$

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price.

So, the Loss = Rs 200 - Rs 180 = Rs 20.

The Loss suffered = Rs 20.

Now, profit and loss percent is always calculated on the cost price.

So, loss percent =

$\frac{20}{100} \times 200$

Now, reduce them to their simplest forms and then multiply.

We get -:

Loss % = 40%.
