$\huge\mathcal{\fcolorbox{aqua}{azure}{\red{♡Ⲇⲛ⳽ⲱⲉⲅ★}}}$

C.P. = Rs. 1800

S.P. = Rs. 1600

Because CP > SP

Therefore there is loss

Loss CP - SP

= Rs. (1800-1600)

= Rs. 200

Loss%= Loss/CP x 100

= 200/1800 x 100

= 1/9 x 100

= 100/9%

= 11.11%

Answer 2

Here the selling price and cost price is given

Selling price = Rs. 1600

cost price = Rs. 1800

We have to find out the loss percentage

First, we 1will find out the loss

loss = cost price - selling price

      = 1800 - 1600

       = 200

Loss% = (loss/cost price) × 100

          = ( 200/1800) × 100

          = 10.526%

Hence, the loss percentage will be 10.526%
