The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the percentage of loss given that the discount is equal to one-fifth of the marked price and the loss is half the discount. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Let the Marked Price (MP) be denoted as \( MP \)**: - According to the problem, the discount is one-fifth of the marked price. - Therefore, the discount \( D = \frac{1}{5} \times MP \). 2. **Calculate the Selling Price (SP)**: - The selling price can be calculated as: \[ SP = MP - D \] - Substituting the value of \( D \): \[ SP = MP - \frac{1}{5} \times MP = \frac{4}{5} \times MP \] 3. **Determine the Loss**: - The problem states that the loss is half of the discount. - Therefore, the loss \( L = \frac{1}{2} \times D = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{5} \times MP = \frac{1}{10} \times MP \). 4. **Calculate the Cost Price (CP)**: - The cost price can be calculated using the relationship between SP, CP, and Loss: \[ CP = SP + L \] - Substituting the values of \( SP \) and \( L \): \[ CP = \frac{4}{5} \times MP + \frac{1}{10} \times MP \] - To add these fractions, we need a common denominator: \[ CP = \frac{8}{10} \times MP + \frac{1}{10} \times MP = \frac{9}{10} \times MP \] 5. **Calculate the Loss Percentage**: - The loss percentage can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{L}{CP} \right) \times 100 \] - Substituting the values of \( L \) and \( CP \): \[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{\frac{1}{10} \times MP}{\frac{9}{10} \times MP} \right) \times 100 \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ \text{Loss Percentage} = \left( \frac{1}{9} \right) \times 100 = \frac{100}{9} \approx 11.11\% \] ### Final Answer: The percentage of loss is \( 11 \frac{1}{9} \% \). ---
