- Let us assume there are 50 pieces each of 100 rupees then cost is 50*100=5000/-
Now price reduced by 30%... so it becomes 70 rupees and sales increased by 30% so pieces becomes 60 ( because 20% of 50 is 10 so total is 50+10)
Now cost price is 70*60=4200/-
So there is loss of 800....
loss %=800/5000 *100 ( Here we have to consider the initial cost price,initially it was 5000 )
16% loss....:-) - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
