Question

Nyali paid $62 for a bicycle. She sold it later for $46.
What was her percentage loss?

Answer 1

`\huge{\sf{ 25.80 }}` %

Explanation:

Cost price of a bicycle = $ 62

Selling price of a bicycle = $ 46

Since, CP > SP , she made a loss.

Finding loss amount

Loss amount = CP - SP = $ 62 - $ 46 = $ 16

Now finding the loss percentage :

`\sf{(Loss )/(CP) * 100 }`

⇒
`(16)/(62) * 100` %

⇒
`25.80` %

Hope I helped!
