Correct Answer: $9\frac{1}{11}\%$


Solution : Let the selling price be Rs. 100.
And loss = 10% of the selling price = Rs. 10
We know that CP = SP + Loss, where CP is the cost price, and SP is the selling price.
So, the CP = 110
Loss % = $\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}} × 100=\frac{10}{110}$ × $100=9\frac{1}{11}\%$
Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{1}{11}\%$.
