    Anirudh bought a pen for 10 rupees and sold it to Sonu for 5 rupees.
    Since 5 is less than 10, Anirudh made a loss.
    He sold the pen for half of what he bought it for.
    The percentage of loss is 100%.
    Anirudh lost all the money he spent on buying the pen.

    Cost Price (CP) of Pen = Rs. 10 <div>Selling Price (SP) of Pen = Rs. 5</div><div>
    </div><div>Since SP<CP, he incurs a loss.</div><div>Loss = CP – SP</div><div> = 10- 5</div><div> = 5 (in rupees)</div><div>
    </div><div>Loss Percentage = Loss / CP × 100</div><div> = 5/10 × 100</div><div> = 50%</div>

    The selling price is 5 and cost price is 10.Therefore there was a loss of 5 rs

    Loss percentage=(5/10)*100

    =50%
