Answer 1

Given:

Selling Price (S.P.) = ₹750

Cost Price (C.P.) = ₹850

______________________

To find:

Gain or loss percent.

______________________

Solution:

₹750 < ₹850

S.P. < C.P.

Since C.P. is greater than S.P., then it is a loss.

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

Loss = ₹(850-750)

$\bf \orange {Loss = ₹100}$

Loss% = $\frac{Loss}{C.P.}$×100%

Loss% = $\frac{100}{850}$×100%

Loss% = 11.7%

Final answer:

Loss is of ₹100 and loss% is 11.7%

Answer 2

Question :-

SP - 750 CP - 850 find the gain or loss percentage.

Answer :-

• Loss is of ₹100
• Loss% is 11.7%

Given :-

S.P. = ₹750

C.P. = ₹850

➤ S.P ( Selling Price )

➤ C.P ( Cost Price )

To find :-

• What is the Gain or loss percent ?

To calculate :-

As from the given we know

₹750 < ₹850

That means

S.P. < C.P.

If selling price is more than the buying then it is absolutely loss .

Hence ,

We know the formula of loss :-

➤ Loss = C.P. - S.P.

⇒ ₹(850-750)

⇒ Loss = $₹100$

Now , let's find out loss percent :-

⇒Loss% = Loss /C.P ×100%

⇒ 100/850 ×100%

Therefore ,

⇒ Loss % = 11.7%
