Answer:

The Loss Percentage is 20%

Solution :

Loss = Cost Price -Selling Price

Or (9,000 + 1,000) - 8,000

Or 10,000 - 8,000

Or 2,000

Percentage Loss (%) = Loss / Cost Price × 100

Or 2,000 / 10,000 × 100

Or 0.2 × 100

Or 20

Formula :

Profit = Cost Price - Selling Price

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

Percentage Profit (%) = Profit / Cost Price × 100

Percentage Loss (%) = Loss / Cost Price × 100

Given - Cost price, expenditure and selling price

Find - Loss or gain percent

Solution - The loss percentage of Ramesh is 20%.

The total expenditure on TV will be considered as its cost price.

So, the cost price of TV = ₹9000 + ₹1000

The cost price of TV = ₹10000

The selling price of the TV = ₹8000

Since the cost price is greater than the selling price of the TV, Ramesh suffered the loss.

Loss = Selling price - Cost price

Loss = 10000 - 8000

Loss = ₹2000

Loss percentage = loss/cost price*100

Loss percentage = 2000/10000*100

Loss percentage = 20%.

The loss percentage of Ramesh is 20%.
