Answer: The loss percentage = 5%

Explanation:

Subtract the selling price from the original price.

490 - 465.50 = 24.5

So the seller lost $24.5.

Next we need to find out how much $24.5 is from the original price.

5% of 490 = $24.5

So the loss price was 5%.

plz mark brainless if this helped :)
