Question

the ratio of cost price and selling price is 11:8. the percentage of loss will be​

Answer 1

Given

Ratio of cost price and selling price is 11:8

let cost price = 11x

Selling price = 8x

Loss = 11x -8x

= 3x

loss % = loss/CP × 100

= 3x/11x × 100

= 300/11 = 27-3/11 %

$\sf \: loss = 27\frac{3}{11} \%$

Answer 2

Answer:

Percentage loss = 27.27%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided in the question it is given as

Ratio of cost price and selling price = 11:8.

We need to find the percentage of loss will be​

The ratio of cost price and selling price is 11:8.

​Let  CP = 11 x

       SP = 8 x

 Loss = CP - SP

(As  CP is more than SP)

Loss = 11 x - 8 x

         = 3x

Now applying the farmula of loss %

Loss % = (loss/ CP × 100) %

Loss % = $=\frac{3x}{11x} \times 100\\=\frac{3}{11}\times 100\\= 27.27 \%$

Loss % = 27.27 %
