Hi KarishmaB How did you get the below?

Cost Price * 96/100 = Selling Price = 96 *100
Cost Price = 10,000


With the same selling price, if we have a profit of a% on one and a loss of a% on another, in all we always have a loss of (a^2/100)%. This is discussed in detail here: https://anaprep.com/arithmetic-profit-o ... e-formula/

So he we have a 4% loss which is 96/100 (in terms of fractions)
