Question:

Robert bought an old bicycle for ₹1,250 and spent ₹250 on its repair. He sold it for ₹1,470. What is his loss percentage?

Options:

4%

1%

3%

2%

Correct Answer:

2%

Explanation:

Cost price of the bicycle = 1250

Spent = 250

Total cost price = 1250 + 250 = 1500

Selling price = 1470

Loss percentage = (1500 - 1470) × \(\frac{100}{1500}\) = 2%
