Question

What is the lost percent if a man loses Rs 10 on selling an article for Rs 100 (a) 8% (b) 9% (c) 10 % (d) 11 %​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here..

SP=100/-

Loss=10/-

So CP =SP+loss

In this case CP=100+10=110/-

Loss % =(10/110)*100 = 9.09%

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

SP = rs 100 , loss = rs 10

So, CP = (100/90 × 100) = rs 1000/9

Therefore Loss % = (10× 9/1000 × 100)% = 9%

correct answer is ( b) 9%
