A computer is purchased at Rs. 120,000 and sold at Rs. 96,000, the loss percentage is ______?

Explanation

To find the loss percentage:

Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 120,000

Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 96,000

Loss = CP - SP = 120,000 - 96,000 = Rs. 24,000

Loss percentage = (Loss / CP) × 100

= (24,000 / 120,000) × 100

= 0.2 × 100

= 20%
