Ankit has a business of rubber sheets.

By selling 20 m of rubber sheet, he loses an amount equal to the

selling price of 5 m of rubber sheet.

To find :

The loss per cent.

Formula to be used:

Loss Percent = $\frac{Loss}{C.P}$ × 100

The cost price of 20m of cloth = 20x

Anlit loses an amount equal to the  selling price of 5 m of rubber sheet.

The Selling price of 20 m of rubber sheet = 20x - 5x

Loss Percent = $\frac{Loss}{C.P}$ × 100

Loss Percent = $\frac{5x}{20x}$× 100

Loss Percent = 5 × 5

Loss Percent = 25%

Final answer:
