Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 37.5% Given: Cost price (C.P.) ∶ Selling price (S.P.) = 8 ∶ 5. Formula used: Loss = C.P. – S.P. Loss % = (L/C.P.) × 100 Where L → Loss S.P. → Selling price C.P. → Cost price Calculations: Let the CP be 8x and SP be 5x. Then, Loss = 8x – 5x = 3x Loss % = (3x/8x) × 100 = 37.5% ∴ The required Loss% is 37.5%. |
