Question

what is loss percent if cost price is equal to 900 and loss is equal to 135​

Answer 1

Cost price = 900

Loss = 135

Then, the loss percentage :-

$= \texttt{\color{olive}100} \times \frac{\texttt{\color{hotpink}loss}}{\texttt{\color{hotpink}cost \: price}}$

$=\texttt{100} \: \times \: \frac{\texttt{135}}{\texttt{900} }$

$= \frac{\texttt{100 \: × \: 135}}{\texttt{900} }$

$= \frac{\texttt{13500}}{\texttt{900}}$

$= \frac{\texttt{135}}{\texttt{9} }$

$\color{olive}\bold = \texttt{15}%}$

Therefore, the loss percentage = 15%
