Question

the cost price of ten tables is equal to the selling price of eight tables. find the loss or gain percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

25 per cent

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. of 10 tables =x

C.P. of 1 table =x/10

C.P. of 8 tables = x/10 *8 =4x/5

S.P. of 8 tables =x

C. P. is greater than S. P.

SO, there is loss

Loss=4x/5 - x

=4x-5x

---------

5

= x/5

$loss\% = \frac{x}{5 } \div \frac{4x}{5} \times 100$

$= 25\%$
