3.
4.
12% of the number is 1080
Calculate the following:
5. 12% of 1200​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost Price (C.P) = 402

Selling Price (S.P) = 400

1. Loss in Rs = C.P - S.P = 402-400 = 2 Rs

2. Loss % = 2/402 * 100 = 0.49 % (approx)

3.Let the number be x.

It is stated that 10% of x is 600,i.e,

10/100*x = 600

0.1x = 600

x = 600/0.1

x = 6000

Hence, the number is 6000

4.Let the number is x.

12/100*x = 1080

x = (1080*100)/12

x = 9000

Hence number is 9000

5. 12/100* 1200 = 12*12 = 144.

Hope it helps!
