Asha bought a mixer for ₹2,160 and sold it for ₹1,998. Find the loss percentage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 7.5%

Cost price = 2160

Selling price = 1998

Loss = 2160 – 1998 = 162

Loss % = (Loss ÷ Cost price) × 100

= (162 ÷ 2160) × 100

= 7.5%
