Question

Ron purchased a table for Rs. $1260$ and due to some scratches on its top he had to sell it for Rs. $1197$. Find his loss percent.

• A. $10\%$
• B. $15\%$
• C. $6\%$
• D. $5\%$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$5\%$

Given, CP $=$ Rs. $1260$ and SP $=$ Rs. $1197$.
Since $\left(\begin{array}{c}SP\end{array}\right)<\left(\begin{array}{c}CP\end{array}\right)$, Ron makes a loss.
Loss $=$ Rs. $\left(\begin{array}{c}1260-1197\end{array}\right)=$ Rs. $63$.
Loss percent $=\frac{loss}{CP}\times 100$ =$\frac{63}{1260}\times 100$$=5$ $\%$
