Question

James has just sold his motorbike for £1,890. He bought the motorbike for £2,700. What was his percentage loss? %

Answer 1

£2.700 - £1890 = £810

£ (money) -------------- percentage (%)
2.700 -------------------- 100
810 ----------------------- x

2700*x = 810*100
2700x = 81000

`x = (81000)/(2700)`

`\boxed{x = 30}`

Answer:
Percentage loss = 30%
