A man bought a car for N800 and sold it for N520. Find his loss per cent
15%
25%
35%
10%

Explanation

Percentage Loss = (actual loss ) ÷ (Cost price) × 100

Actual loss = Cost Price − Selling Price (sold price)

= N800 − N520 = N280

Percentage loss = (280 ÷ 800) × 100 = 35%

∴ His loss percent = 35%
