AI explanation

Using the loss percentage formula, loss percentage equals ((cost price minus selling price) divided by cost price) multiplied by 100. The loss amount is 1000 rupees minus 946 rupees, which equals 54 rupees. Substituting these values gives (54 divided by 1000) multiplied by 100, resulting in a loss of 5.4 percent.
