Question

Mrs. Yadav purchase 25 kg of vegetable at Rs 20 per kg and sold at a loss of Rs 50 find her

Selling rate and loss percent​

Answer 1

`\boxed{loss\% \: = 10\%}`

Explanation:

Given,

Cost price of 25 kg of vegetables ( CP ) = 25 × 20

= Rs 500

Loss amount = Rs 50

Selling price ( SP ) = ?

Loss percent = ?

Now, let's find the loss percent :

`\mathsf{ (loss)/(cost \: price) * 100\%}`

`\mathsf{ = (50)/(500) * 100\%}`

`\mathsf{ = 10\%}`

Loss % = 10 %

Now, let's find the selling price:

`\mathsf{ (CP(100 - l\%))/(100) }`

`\mathsf{ = (500(100 - 10))/(100)}`

`\mathsf{ = (500 * 90)/(100) }`

`\mathsf{ = (45000)/(100) }`

`\mathsf{= 450}`

Hope I helped!
