Sohan bought a second-hand refrigerator for ₹ 2500 and spent ₹ 1500 on repairs. He then sold it for ₹ 3300. What is the gain or loss%?
17.5% Loss
Cost price of refrigerator = ₹ (2500 + 1500) = ₹ 4000
[Sohan had to spend ₹ 1500 on repairs]
Loss = CP - SP = ₹ (4000 - 3300) = ₹ 700
(because the cost price is greater than the selling price)
Loss percentage= LossCP×100 = 7004000×100 = 17.5%
Hence, loss percent = 17.5%
