Answer 2

Answer:

Loss percentage is 12.81% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

CP = ₹ 9875

Loss = ₹ 1265

Find loss percentage.

As,

SP= Selling price

CP = Cost price

We know that,

Loss percentage = $\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100$

By putting given values

Loss percentage = $\frac{1265}{9875} \times 100$

By dividing 1265 and 9875 by 5 we get

Loss percentage = $\frac{253}{1975} \times 100$

Loss percentage = $\frac{253 \times 100}{1975}$

Loss percentage = $\frac{25300}{1975}$

By dividing 25300 by 1975 we get

Loss percentage $= 12.81$

Hence,

Loss percentage is 12.81% .
