Example 5: On selling a chair for `255, a seller suffers a loss of
`45. Compute his loss percent.

Solution: Given, S.P. = `255 and Loss = `45
\ C.P. = S.P. + Loss = `255 + `45 = `300

 Loss 

Hence, Loss% =  ×100  %
 CP.. 
 
 `45 

=  × 100 % = 15%
 `300 

Example 6: Find the selling price of a table if its cost price is `800

and profit percent is 10%.

Solution: Given, cost price of the table = `800 and profit% = 10%

10
\ Profit = 10% of C.P. = × `800 = `80
100

Thus, Selling price of the table = C.P. + Profit
= `800 + `80 = `880

Example 7: An ox is sold at a loss of 5%. If the cost price of the
ox is `25000, find its selling price.

Solution: Given, cost price of the ox = `25000 and loss% = 5%

\ Loss = 5% of `25000

5
= × `25000 = `1250
100

\ Selling price of the ox = C.P. – Loss

= `25000 – `1250 = `23750
