    Loss percent Shortcut tricks

Example 1: A Sunglasses is sold at the price of Rs. 770 and gained profit 10%. If it sold at the price of 680 then Find the profit and loss.
Answer : Cost Price = 100 x 770 / 110 = 700
C.P = Rs. 700
Loss = 700 – 680 = Rs. 20

Example 2: A boy sold his two mobile each at Rs. 1800. On 1st mobile he loss 10% and on 2nd mobile he gained 10%. What would be his total loss % or profit % ?
Answer : There is always loss in this type of case.
Loss % = 10² / 100 = 1.

Example 3:  A girls purchase a book for Rs. 200 and sell it for Rs 180. What would be her loss percent ?
Answer : loss % = loss x 100 / CP
( 200 – 180 ) = 20
20 x 100 / 200 = 10%.

Example 4: Monty bought a Led Tv and a smart phone for Rs. 16,000/- and Rs. 12,000/-. He sold his Led Tv a loss of 10% and mobile at a Profit of 6%. What is his overall loss/profit ?
Answer : Total Cost price = ( 16000 + 12000 ) = 28,000.
Selling price of Tv = 16,000 x 90 / 100 = 14,400.
Selling price of mobile = 12,000 x 106 / 100 = 12,720.
Total selling price = ( 14,400 + 12,720 ) = 27,120.
So, Loss = ( 28,000 – 27,120 ) = 880.

Example 5: Amit loss 20% on mobile selling price, What percent loss he made on the cost price ?
Answer : Suppose Selling price is Rs. 100.
if loss 20% then cost price Rs. 120.
So, Loss% = ( 20 x 100 / 120 )% = 16.66 %.

Example  6:
A man purchased a toy for Rs. 120 and sold it for Rs. 90, Find the loss Percent.
Answer :
C.P = 120 and S.P =90
So We Know the formula of Loss = C. P – S.P . Loss = (120 – 90) = 30
Loss% = 30 x 100/120 = 25%
So, the loss Percent is 25%.

Example 7:
Anil purchased a mobile for Rs. 12000 and sold it for Rs. 8000, Find the loss Percent.
Answer :
C.P = 12000 and S.P =8000
So We Know the formula of Loss = C. P – S.P,  Loss = (12000 – 8000) = 4000.
%Loss = 4000 x 100/12000 = 33.33%.
So, the loss Percent is 33.33%.

Example  8:
10% loss on selling price is what percent loss on the cost price ?
Answer :
consider selling price be = Rs.100, Then loss = Rs.10
Cost price = Rs.( 100 + 10 ) = 110

Example 9:
A farmer purchased a cow for Rs. 200 and sold it for Rs. 180, Find the loss Percent.
