Correct Answer
22.22 percent
• **Find CP:** Profit = Loss -> SP1 - CP = CP - SP2. • 500 - CP = CP - 400 -> 2CP = 900 -> CP = 450. • **New Case:** SP = 350. Loss = 450 - 350 = 100. ......

💡 Analysis & Explanation
• **Find CP ▼
** Profit = Loss -> SP1 - CP = CP - SP2.
• 500 - CP = CP - 400 -> 2CP = 900 -> CP = 450.
• **New Case ▼
** SP = 350. Loss = 450 - 350 = 100.
• **Loss % ▼
** (100 / 450) × 100 = 1000/45 = 200/9 = 22.22%.
