Solution

To calculate the loss percentage, we first need to determine the amount of loss.

Step 1: Calculate the amount of loss The amount of loss is the difference between the cost price and the selling price.

Loss = Cost price - Selling price Loss = ₹810 - ₹648 = ₹162

Step 2: Calculate the loss percentage The loss percentage is the loss divided by the cost price, multiplied by 100.

Loss % = (Loss / Cost price) * 100 Loss % = (₹162 / ₹810) * 100 = 20%

So, the retailer's loss percentage is 20%.
