Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Cost price of the car = N 1,250.00
Selling price = N 1,085.00
Loss = N (1250 - 1085)
= N 165.00
% loss = \(\frac{165}{1250} \times 100%\)
= 13.2% loss
Cost price of the car = N 1,250.00
Selling price = N 1,085.00
Loss = N (1250 - 1085)
= N 165.00
% loss = \(\frac{165}{1250} \times 100%\)
= 13.2% loss
