who will give the answer fast he /she will be brilliant​

Answer 1

Given :

• SP and CP

To find :

• The loss percentage

Loss% formula :

• $\tt \: loss\% = \frac{loss}{cp} \times100\%$

Solution :

Since,

• CP = 45000
• SP = 32500

Here CP > SP. Therefore, there is loss.

$\therefore \tt loss = cp - sp \\ \tt = 45000 - 32500 \\ = \bf 12500$

a/q,

• Her percentage of loss is ?

$\sf \therefore \: loss \: percent \: = \: \frac{loss}{cp} \times100\% \\ \\ \sf = \frac{12500}{45000} \times100\% \\ \\ \bf = 27.77\%$

More explanation :

• Profit and loss always depend on cost price ( CP ).

• If selling price ( SP ) is greater than cost price ( CP ) then there is profit.

• On the other hand, If cost price( CP ) is greater than selling price ( SP ) then there is loss.

Profit :

• P = SP - CP, SP > CP

Loss :

• L = CP - SP, CP > SP
