Find gain or loss percent.
CP $= R s . 2, 400$ and SP $= R s . 2, 250$

Open in App

Solution

From the given CP and SP we can observe that sales price is less than cost price which means there is a loss.
$loss % = \frac{C P - S P}{C P} \times 100$

So, by using the above given formula,
$\begin{matrix} loss % & = \frac{2400 - 2250}{2400} \times 100 = \frac{150}{24} = 6.25 % \end{matrix}$
