Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Loss 8%

Given:

List price of the a bike is more than it's cost price = 15%

Discount % = 20%

Formula:

If a number is increase by x%, then

Increased number = Actual number × (100 + x)/100

SP = MP × (100 - Discount%)/100

Loss = CP – SP

Loss % = (Loss/CP) × 100 

Calculation:

Let cost price of bike be Rs. 100, then

List price of the bike = 100 × (115/100) = Rs. 115

SP of the bike = 115 × (80/100) = Rs. 92

Loss = Rs. 100 - Rs. 92 = Rs. 8 

∴ Loss% = (8/100) × 100 = 8%
