Question
The cost price and selling price are given in the following table. Find out whether there was a profit or a loss and how much it was.
| Cost Price (in Rs.) |
Selling Price (in Rs) |
Profit or Loss | How much? |
| 1000 | 920 |
Solution
Cost price = Rs 1000; Selling price = Rs 920
Here selling price is less than cost price, so there is a loss.
Loss = Cost price − Selling price
= 1000 − 920
= Rs 80
Hence, there is a loss of Rs 80.
