1. **Problem Statement:** Aghar lost 35 by selling a body for 430. We need to find the loss percentage. 2. **Given:** - Loss = 35 - Selling Price (SoP) = 430 3. **Find Cost Price (CoP):** Cost Price is the original price before loss. Since loss = CoP - SoP, $$\text{CoP} = \text{SoP} + \text{Loss} = 430 + 35 = 465$$ 4. **Loss Percentage Formula:** $$\text{Loss \%} = \left(\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{Cost Price}}\right) \times 100$$ 5. **Calculate Loss Percentage:** $$\text{Loss \%} = \left(\frac{35}{465}\right) \times 100 = \frac{35 \times 100}{465}$$ 6. **Simplify the fraction:** Divide numerator and denominator by 5: $$\frac{35 \times 100}{465} = \frac{7 \times 100}{93} = \frac{700}{93} \approx 7.53\%$$ 7. **Final Answer:** The loss percentage is approximately **7.5%**. This means Aghar lost about 7.5% of the cost price when selling the body for 430.
