Question

ron purchased a table for ₹1260 and due to some scratches on its top he had to sell it for₹1197.find his loss percentage.

Answer 1

Hey mate!! Here's your answer.
______________________________

Cost Price (C.P.) = 1260 Rs

Selling price (S.P.) = 1197 Rs.


Since, C.P. > S.P.,
Ron faces a loss


Loss = C.P. - S.P.
= 1260 - 1197
= 63 Rs.


Now,
loss % = loss \C.P. × 100
= 63/1260 × 100
= 0.05 × 100
= 5 %

Answer 2

____________________________________

$\large\textsf{Given -}$

• $\mathsf{Selling \: Price = 1197}$

• $\mathsf{Cost Price = 1260}$

$\large\textsf{To Find -} \\ \textsf{Loss Percentage = ?}$
___________________________________

$\underline{\textit{Using the Formula,}}$

$\mathbf{Loss = Selling Price - Cost Price}$

Also, Loss % = $\mathbf{\frac{Loss}{Cost \: Price} \times 100}$
____________________________________

Loss = 1197 - 1260

=> $\boxed{\mathbf{Loss = 63}}$

Now,

Loss % = $\mathsf{\frac{63}{1260} \times 100}$

=> Loss % = $\mathsf{\frac{630}{126}}$

=> Loss % = $\boxed{\mathsf{5}}$

Hence, the Loss Percentage is 5%
