To find Swarn's loss percentage, you can follow these steps:
Calculate the cost price (CP) of one hen.
Calculate the total cost price of 144 hens.
Calculate the selling price (SP) of 144 hens.
Find the loss by comparing the SP with the total CP.
Calculate the loss percentage.
Let's break it down step by step:
Calculate the cost price (CP) of one hen:
Since Swarn loses the selling price (SP) of 6 hens when selling 144 hens, the CP of one hen is equivalent to the SP of 6 hens.
Let's denote CP of one hen as CP_hen, and SP of 6 hens as SP_6_hens:
CP_hen = SP_6_hens
Calculate the total cost price of 144 hens:
Total CP = CP_hen * 144
Calculate the selling price (SP) of 144 hens:
SP_144_hens = Total CP - Loss (since she loses the SP of 6 hens)
Find the loss by comparing the SP with the total CP:
Loss = Total CP - SP_144_hens
Calculate the loss percentage:
Loss Percentage = (Loss / Total CP) * 100
Now, let's calculate:
First, we need to know the values of CP_hen and SP_6_hens. Without that information, we cannot calculate the loss percentage. Please provide the specific values, and I'll be happy to help you calculate the loss percentage.
