If The Cost Price Of A Certain Object Doubles, Then The Loss Gets Tripled Of What It Was Initially. The Initial Loss % Was ? |
|
Answer» LET the cost price be X and selling price be y. LOSS = x – y When the cost price DOUBLES, the loss GETS tripled. So it becomes like this, 2x – y = 3(x-y) => x = 2y Loss % = (loss/ C.P) x 100 = [(2y-y)/2y] x 100= 50 %. Let the cost price be x and selling price be y. Loss = x – y When the cost price doubles, the loss gets tripled. So it becomes like this, 2x – y = 3(x-y) => x = 2y Loss % = (loss/ C.P) x 100 = [(2y-y)/2y] x 100= 50 %. |
