Question

S.p is 90%of c.p find profit or loss percentage

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P be 100

So, S.P = 90% of 100

= 90

we can see that C.P is more than S.P

So, loss has been incurred

Loss = C.P - S.P

= 100 - 90

= 10

So, loss % = total loss ÷ C.P × 100

= 10 ÷ 100 ×100

= 10%

Loss = 10%

Answer 2

The loss percentage is 10%

GIVEN:- S.P = 90% of C.P

TO FIND:- profit or loss percentage.

SOLUTION:-

Let C.P be 100

According to the question,

S.P = 90% of C.P

S.P = 90% of 100

$= \frac{90}{100} \times 100 = 90$

Thus, S.P is less than C.P, which means it is a loss.

As we know,

Loss = C.P- S.P $= 100 - 90 = 10$

Loss % = $\frac{loss}{c.p} \times 100$

By putting values in the formula

$loss\% = \frac{10}{100} \times 100 \\ = 10\%$

Hence, the loss percentage is 10%
