A reseller increased the price of a product 50% and later on he reduce the price by 50% . what is the percentage of loss?
[A] 40%
[C] 25%
[B] 50%
[D] 100%

• let X=100;
  increased price is now 150.
  50% of 150=75
  so loss is (100-75/100)*100=25% loss

• Apply the formula:
  %loss=(x/10)^2
  x=50
  =(50/10)^2
  25%

• let cp=x.
  sp= x+x*50%= x+x/2= 3x/2
  now
  he reduced 50% again and its from sp i.e 3x/2
  so now cp vl be 3x/2
  and sp= 3x/2 -3x/2*50% = 3x/2-3x/4= (6x-3x)/4 = 3x/4
  loss%= (sp-cp)/cp *100
  = (3x/4-3x/2)/3x/2 *100
  (3x-6x)/4 / 3x/2 * 100
  -3x/4 / 3x/2 * 100
  100/5= 50% ans
