Question

The cp of 25 chairs is equal to sp of 30 chairs.find the loss percent

Answer 1

----------------------------------------

Here is the solution:

----------------------------------------

Let the cost price of a chair be x

Find the cost of 25 chairs:

Cost of 25 chairs = 25x

Find the Selling Price of 1 chair:

Selling Price of 30 chairs = 25x

Selling Price of 1 chair = 25x ÷ 30 = 5/6 x

Find the profit / loss:

since cost price > selling price => it is a loss

Loss = x - 5/6x = 1/6x

Find the loss percentage:

Loss percentage = loss/cost price x 100

Loss percentage = (1/6x ÷ x) x 100 = 16.7%

Answer: The chairs were sold at a loss of 16.7%
