The loss incurred on selling 21 articles equals the selling price of 3 articles. Then the loss per cent is
-
-
9 1 % 11 - 10%
-
12 1 % 2 -
11 1 % 9
-
Correct Option: C
Given in question, S.P. of 3 articles = C.P. of 21 articles – S.P. of 21 articles
⇒ S.P. of 24 articles = C.P. of 21 articles
| ⇒ | = | C.P. | 24 |
Loss = 24 - 21 = 3
| ∴ Loss percent = | × 100 | 24 |
| Loss percent = 12 | % | 2 |
We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, p = 21, q = 3
| Loss% = | p + q |
| Loss% = | 21 + 3 |
| Loss% = | = | = 12 | % | 8 | 2 | 2 |
