Question

Purchased at 170 and sold for 136, how much is loss

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss = 34 Rs

Loss% = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have-

Purchase price = 170 Rs

Selling price = 136 Rs

Loss = Purchase price - Selling price

       = 170 -136

Loss = 34 Rs

Loss% = $\dfrac{loss * 100}{purchase price}$

           = $\dfrac{34*100}{170}$

           = $\dfrac{34*10}{17}$

           = 2×10

Loss% = 20%
