Question

Sara bought a doll for Rs 670 and sold it for Rs 600? What was her loss? Express it
as a percenatage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price C.P.=RS.720

Selling price S.P.=Rs.698.40

We need to find the loss percent.

Loss percent =

C.P.

loss×100

Loss =C.P−S.P

=720−698.40

Loss =Rs.21.60

Therefore loss percent =

720

21.60×100

=3%

Answer 2

Here,cost price of doll = Rs. 670
Selling price of doll = Rs. 600
Since Selling price < Cost price , so there is a loss.
Loss = Cost price - Selling Price = 670-600 = Rs. 70

Percentage of loss
= (Loss/Cost price)* 100
= (70/670)* 100
= 10.45% (approximately)
