Open in App
Solution

Let the selling price of 1 geometry box be Rs 1.
So, the selling price for 140 geometry boxes = Rs 1 × 140 = Rs 140
Similarly, selling price of 10 geometry boxes = Rs 1 × 10 = Rs 10

Loss= C.P - S.P

10= C.P - 140

C.P = 150
Loss = Selling price of 10 geometry boxes = Rs 10
Loss percentage ==LossCP×100=10140+10×100=10150×100=203%=623%
