Answer 2

$\sf\huge\bold{Solution}$

Given

Cost price of TV =₹4000

Selling price of TV =₹2500

Concept

=>The cost at which an articles is purchased is called its cost price (CP)

=>The cost at which an articles sold is called its selling price (SP).

⋆If SP is greater than CP then it is profit or gain.

⋆If CP is greater than SP then it is loss.

Here,Cost price which is ₹4000 > selling price which is 2500.so,it's a loss.

IMPORTANT FORMULAE

Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.)

Loss = (C.P.) - (S.P.)

Loss =4000-2500=1500

$\boxed{\sf Loss \% = \left(\dfrac{Loss\times 100}{CP}\right)}$

$\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{1500 \times 100}{4000} = \dfrac{1500}{40} = \dfrac{150}{4}$

$\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{150}{4} = \dfrac{75}{2} = 37.5$

$\sf\bold{\therefore \: loss\%= 37.5}$$\sf\bold{,loss= 1500}$
