Mrs.Joshi bought a saree for Rs 1,750.she sold it at a profit of 4%.what would be her profit or loss percent if she had bought it for Rs 2,000?​

Answer:

9% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

We first can find the amount of money the saree was sold for by multiplying its buy cost, 1,750, by 1.04 (adding 4% to 1)

[tex]1750 \cdot 10.4 = 1820[/tex]

Now, 1820 is definitely less than 2000, so we need to find the percent difference between 2000 and 1820. We can use the formula:

[tex]\frac{higher-lower}{higher} \cdot 100[/tex]

So,

[tex]\frac{2000-1820}{2000} \cdot 100[/tex]

[tex]\frac{180}{2000} \cdot 100[/tex]

[tex]0.09 \cdot 100[/tex]

9

So, the loss percent of this dress is 9%.

Hope this helped!
