Question

Sarah bought a dress for rupees 2400 and sold it for rupees 2100. Find her loss and loss percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

Cost price (C.P) = Rs.2400

Selling price (S.P) = Rs.2100

We see:

C.P > S.P

Rs.2400 > Rs.2100

∴ There is loss (2400 - 2100):

• Rs.300

Loss percent:

Loss/Cost Price × 100

300/2400 × 100

∴ 12.5 %

∴ Sarah had a loss of 12.5%.
