By selling 80 notebooks, Amrita losses an amount equal to the selling price of 10 notebooks. What is her loss percent (to the nearest integer)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 11%.

Let the SP of 1 notebook = ₹1

Then SP of 80 notebooks = ₹80

Loss = SP of 10 notebooks = ₹10

So, CP = SP + Loss = 80 + 10 = ₹90

Loss % = 109010 \over 90 × 100 = 11.11% ≈ 11%
