As per the data given in the above question
The given that the cost of wrist watch is `Rs.2200`
Selling price of wrist watch is `Rs.1980`
We have to find the loss and loss percentage
The loss in selling wrist watch is as below
Loss=`C.P-S.P`
Loss=`2200-1980`
Loss=`Rs.220`
So, the loss percent is as follow,
`(loss)/(CP)xx100`
`(220)/(2200)xx100`
`1/10xx100`
Loss percentage
`10%`
