Question

Sonia purchased a car for rupees 450000. She used it for three months and then sold it for rupees 435000. Find her loss percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.3 PERCENT

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P = RS 450000

S.P = RS 435000

Loss = C.P - S.P

        = RS 450000 - RS 435000

        = RS 15000

Loss percent = Loss/C.P * 100

                      = 15000/450000*100

                     = 3.3 PERCENT

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost price ⟹ ₹ 450000

selling price ⟹ ₹ 435000

Loss ⟹ Cost price - selling price

Loss ⟹ ₹ (450000 - ₹ 435000)

Loss ⟹ ₹ 15000

Loss % $⟹( \dfrac{loss}{cp} \times 100)\%$

Loss % $⟹( \dfrac{15000}{450000} \times 100)\%$

loss %$⟹ \dfrac{10}{3} \%$

Hence, loss per cent is $\dfrac{10}{3} \%$
