Question : Rohit buys an old bat for Rs 2320 and spends Rs 180 on its repairing. If he sells it for Rs. 2400 , then what is the loss
- 10 percent
- 5 percent
- 8 percent
- 4 percent
Answer: 4 is the correct answer
Solution :
Total money spend on the bat by Rohit (cost price)= Rs 2320+180 = Rs 2500
Total loss occur= Total money- selling price
= Rs 2500-2400= Rs 100
Total loss percentage= total loss occur/Total money spend(cost price)= $\frac{100} {2500} \times 100 $ = 4 percent loss
