The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate Rishi's loss and the loss percentage based on the given cost price (CP) and selling price (SP). ### Step 1: Identify the Cost Price and Selling Price - Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 2200 - Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 1980 ### Step 2: Calculate the Loss Loss can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Loss} = \text{Cost Price} - \text{Selling Price} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Loss} = 2200 - 1980 \] \[ \text{Loss} = 220 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Loss Percentage Loss percentage can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{220}{2200} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Calculation Now, simplify the fraction: \[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{220}{2200} \right) = \frac{1}{10} \] Now multiply by 100: \[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \frac{1}{10} \times 100 = 10\% \] ### Final Answer - Loss = Rs. 220 - Loss Percentage = 10% ---
