Respuesta :

4500 / 6000 = 0.75
1 - 0.75 = 0.25
Percentage lost = 25%

Answer

Find out the  loss as a percentage of the cost price.

To prove

As given

Tina bought her car for $6000 and later sold it for $4500.

i.e Cost price = $6000

Selling price = $4500

Loss = Cost price - Selling price

      = $6000 - $ 4500

      = $1500

Loss percentage formula

[tex]Loss\ percentage = \frac{loss\times 100}{cost\ price}[/tex]

Put all the values in the formula

[tex]Loss\ percentage = \frac{1500\times 100}{6000}[/tex]

                                      = 25%

Therefore the loss percentage is 25% .
