Question

Rohit purchased a stereo for Rs. 5863. Due to some defects in it, he had to pay Rs. 137 to the mechanic for its repair. Then, he sold it for Rs. 5700. Find his loss percent.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount used in repairing+cost price

= 5863+137

= ₹6000

Loss = 6000-5700= ₹300

$loss\% = \frac{loss}{cost \: price} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{300}{6000} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{300}{60} \\ \\ = 5\%$
