Question

the sp of an article is three fourth of its cp. What is the loss percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let cp be ₹100

sp =¾ x 100

= 75

therefore, sp = ₹75

loss = cp - sp

= 100 - 75

25

therefore loss = ₹25

loss%= (loss\cp)x 100%

= 25\100 x 100%

= 25%

Answer 2

Let CP be x.

Therefore, SP = 3x/4

Loss = CP - SP = x - 3x/4 = x/4

Hence, Loss percent =

$\frac{ \frac{x}{4} }{x} \times 100 \\ \frac{1}{4} \times 100$

= 25%
