Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

loss percentage is 25%

Correct Question:-

If cost price of 15 bottles is equal to the selling price of 20 bottles, find the profit or loss percentage.

Solution:-

Given:

Let the C.P. of 1 bottle = Re.1.

so, the C.P. of 15 bottles = Rs.15

& C.P. of 20 bottles = Rs. 20

But, we know,

C.P. of 15 bottles = S.P. of 20 bottles = Rs.15

So, S.P. of 20 bottles = 15 Rs.

C.P. of 20 bottles = 20 Rs.

Hence, the seller faces loss,

Now loss % = (20 – 15 )/20 × 100

= 5 /20 × 100

= 25%

Hence, loss percentage is 25%
