Question

Shalini buys a dress for Rs 1500and sells it at Rs 1200 find the (I)loss and(ii)loss per cent

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Shalini buys the dress for rs. 1500, so it's the cp.

Than she sold it for rs. 1200 which is sp.

So, it can be clearly seen that, the loss is happening here.

As, we know -

CP - SP = Loss

1500 - 1200 = loss

300 = loss

so, shalini got a loss of 300 rs. in the transaction.

Now,

profit % = loss/cp * 100

300/1500 * 100

20%

the loss  percentage is 20.
