A fair price shopkeeper takes 10% profit on his goods. He lost 20% goods during theft. His loss percent is:________?

  1. 8
  2. 10
  3. 11
  4. 12

Suppose he has 100 items. Let C.P. of each item be Re. 1.

Total cost = Rs. 100. Number of items left after theft = 80.
S.P. of each item = Rs. 1.10
Total sale = 1.10 * 80 = Rs. 88
Hence, loss % = 12/100 * 100 = 12%
