When loss is half of the selling price what will be the % loss?

Answer:- A)
Let selling price = Rs. 100/- and loss has 50% of S.P
100 * (100/50)= 200 Cost price
Let loss= 50 (half)
Loss %= (50 * 100)/ 200= 25% Answer

let selling price= X
then loss = X/2
loss= (cost price) - (selling price)
X/2 = CP - X
CP = 3X/2

then loss% = loss*100/cp
X/2*100/3X/2
=1*100/3
=100/3
Ans is 33⅓

Let selling price = 100
Loss= half of sp = 100/2 = 50
Cost price = sp + loss =100+50 =150
% loss = ( 50/150 )*100
= 100/3
=33 .33 %
