Answer 1

Answer:

Loss

Loss%=10-8/10=2/10. x 100 = 20%

Answer 2

Answer : Loss Percentage = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The c.p. of 8 pens is same as s.p. of 10 pens.

Cp of 8 pens = Sp of 10 pens.

Let the Sp of 1 pen = ₹1

=> Sp of 10 pens = ₹10

Cp of 8 pens = ₹10

=> Cp of 1 pen = 10/8 = ₹1.25

=> Cp is more than Sp. Hence, Loss occurred.

=> Loss = Cp - Sp

=> ₹1.25 - ₹1

=> ₹0.25

Loss Percentage = (Loss/Cp)x100

Loss Percentage = (0.25/1.25)x100

Loss Percentage = 20%
