Question

James has just sold his motorbike for £1,890. He bought the motorbike for £2,700. What was his percentage loss? %

Answer 1

£2.700 - £1890 = £810

£ (money) -------------- percentage (%)
2.700 -------------------- 100
810 ----------------------- x

2700*x = 810*100
2700x = 81000
$x = \frac{81000}{2700}$
$\boxed{x = 30}$

Answer: 
Percentage loss = 30%
