Answer 1

Answer:

Sofia had a greater loss

Answer 2

Answer:

Option a) Sofia is correct.

Sofia incurred a greater loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Selling price by Sofia = $1600

Loss percentage = 20%

Selling price by Katie = $1060

Loss percentage = 20%

Find:

The person who incurred a greater loss = ?

Solution:

Sofia sold the item for $1600 by losing 20%

Loss incurred by Sofia = 20% of 1600

                                     = $\frac{20}{100} \times 1600$

                                     = $320$

Katie sold the item for $1060 by losing 20%

Loss incurred by Katie = 20% of 1060

                                     = $\frac{20}{100} \times 1060$

                                     = $212$

Therefore, Sofia incurred a greater loss of $320 than Katie (with a loss of $212)
