If buying price of 8 notebook is equal to the selling price of 10 notebooks. What is the percentage profit or loss in this trade.
20% loss, let we assume cost price of 1 pen is 1 rupee, then cost price of 10 pens =10, and selling price of 10 pens=8(cost price of 8 pens), so loss =2 rupee, loss%=(<loss/cost>*100)% =2/10*100=20%
Let x = prize of the notebook Let y = selling prize of the note book Then, 8 * x = 10 * y ; y = 0,8 x Therefore , we experiment a loss of 20%
