When A mobile phone is sold for 5060 with profit 10% then when its sold for Rs 4370 there is a loss of 5%.

Let’s solve Step-by-step :

Given : A mobile phone is sold for Rs 5060 at a gain of 10%.

To Calculate: What would have been the gain or loss per cent if it had been sold for Rs 4370 ?

Solution :

The selling price is SP=Rs.5060.

On this price gain is 10 percent , So

The gain percent is G%=10%

The cost price formula is,

?f=CP%3D%5Cfrac%7B100%7D%7B100%2BG%5C%25%7D%5Ctimes%20SP
?f=CP%3D%5Cfrac%7B100%7D%7B100%2B10%7D%5Ctimes%205060
?f=CP%3D%5Cfrac%7B100%7D%7B110%7D%5Ctimes%205060
?f=CP%3DRs

The cost price is Rs.4600.

The selling price is Rs.4370.

AS CP ( Cost price) >SP ( Selling price) there is a loss.

Loss = Cost price – Selling price

Loss = 4600- 4370

Loss =Rs. 230

Loss percentage is calculate by,

?f=L%5C%25%3D%5Cfrac%7BL%7D%7BCP%7D%5Ctimes%20100
?f=L%5C%25%3D%5Cfrac%7B230%7D%7B4600%7D%5Ctimes%20100
?f=L%5C%25%3D5%5C%25

There is a loss of 5%.

When a mobile phone is sold for 5060 Rs with 10% profit, calculate loss percent if sold for 4370 Rs
