A man bought wrist watch for N150 but was only able to sell it for…

A man bought wrist watch for N150 but was only able to sell it for N120. Find the loss per cent on the transaction

  • A.
    25%
  • B.
    11%
  • C.
    20%
  • D.
    80%
  • E.

Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Loss% = (frac{text{actual loss}}{text{cost price}}) x 100%

(frac{N150 – N120}{N150} times 100%)

(frac{N30}{N150} times 100%)

= 20%
