Question

Anu bought a sofa set for Rs.12840. She sold it for Rs.10950. Find her loss percent.

Answer 1

$C.P$ of the Sofa set $=Rs.12840$

$S.P$ of the sofa set $=Rs.10950$

We know that

$Loss\left(\%\right)=\frac{C.P-S.P}{C.P}\times 100$

Therefore,

$Loss\left(\%\right)=\frac{12840-10950}{12840}\times 100$

$Loss\left(\%\right)=\frac{1890}{12840}\times 100$

$Loss\left(\%\right)=14.72\%$

Hence, this is the answer.
