Question

Mohan purchased a table for ₹2,025 and due to some scratches on its top, he had to sell it for ₹1,675. Find his loss percentage (correct to two places of decimals).

A.

16.85%

B.

17.28%

C.

17.91%

D.

16.31%

Correct option is B

Given:

Cost Price (C.P.) = ₹2,025

Selling Price (S.P.) = ₹1,675

Formula Used:

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

Loss Percentage =(LossCost Price)×1 \left( \dfrac{\text{Loss}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 1​00

Solution:

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

Loss = ₹2,025 - ₹1,675

Loss = ₹350

Loss Percentage =(3502,025)×100 \left( \dfrac{350}{2,025} \right) \times 100

Loss Percentage = 17.28%

So, Mohan’s loss percentage is 17.28%.
