Question 66

The selling price and the cost price of a cup are ₹576 and ₹800 respectively. What is the loss percentage?

Solution

The selling price and the cost price of a cup are ₹576 and ₹800 respectively.

loss percentage = $$\frac{\left(cost\ price - selling\ price\right)}{cost\ price}\times\ 100$$

= $$\frac{\left(800-576\right)}{800}\times\ 100$$

= $$\frac{224}{800}\times\ 100$$

= 28%
