How to Find Percentage Loss?

loss = cost price(CP) - selling price(SP) [Note: sp < cp]
Loss(%) = (loss / CP) × 100
Solved Examples on Percentage Loss Calculator
Example 1:
Find loss percentage if the cost price of a bottle is $720 but the selling price of a bottle 600?
Solution:
Given:
Cost price(CP) = $720
Selling price(SP) = $600
Loss = cost price(CP) - selling price(SP)
Loss = 720 - 600
Loss = 120
Loss(%) = (loss / CP) × 100
= (120 / 720) × 100
= 1/6 × 100
= 16.666%
Therefore, percentage loss = 16.666%
Example 2:
Find loss percentage if the cost price of a bottle is $1100 but the selling price of a bottle 500?
Solution:
Given:
Cost price(CP) = $1100
Selling price(SP) = $500
Loss = cost price(CP) - selling price(SP)
Loss = 1100 - 500
Loss = 600
Loss(%) = (loss / CP) × 100
= (600 / 1100) × 100
= 1/6 × 100
= 54.5454%
Therefore, percentage loss = 54.5454%
Example 3:
Find loss percentage if the cost price of a bottle is $800 but the selling price of a bottle 600?
Solution:
Given:
Cost price(CP) = $800
Selling price(SP) = $600
Loss = cost price(CP) - selling price(SP)
Loss = 800 - 600
Loss = 200
Loss(%) = (loss / CP) × 100
= (200 / 800) × 100
= 1/4 × 100
= 25%
Therefore, percentage loss = 25%
