Answer 2

Given :-

• Rajat bought a TV set for Rs. 25000 and sold it for Rs. 20000.

To Find :-

• What was his loss percent?

Solution :-

~Here, we’re given the selling price and cost price of a TV set bought by Rajiv. The selling price is less than the cost price than it’s loss. We need to find the loss percentage by applying the formula.

______________

As we know that ,  

$\boxed{\sf{\maltese \;\; Loss=CP-SP}}$ 

$\boxed{\sf{\maltese \;\; Loss \% = \dfrac{Loss}{CP} \times 100 \%}}$

______________

 

Where,  

• CP is Cost Price  

• SP is Selling Price  

______________

Finding the Loss :-

$\sf \implies 25000 -20000$

 

$\sf \leadsto 5000$

 

Finding the Loss % :-

$\sf \implies \dfrac{5000}{25000} \times 100 \%$

 

$\sf \implies \dfrac{100}{5} \%$  

$\sf \leadsto 20 \%$ 

______________

Hence,  

• The loss percentage on the TV is 20 %
