Answer 2

The percentage of loss = 15%

Given :

A box of mangoes was purchased by a fruit seller for Rs. 300 however he had to sell them for Rs. 255 because they begin to get over ripen

To find :

The percentage of loss

Solution :

Step 1 of 3 :

Write down Cost price and Selling price

Cost price = Rs. 300

Selling price = Rs. 255

Step 2 of 3 :

Calculate amount of loss

Now 300 > 255

∴ Cost price > Selling price

So there is loss

Loss amount

= Cost price - Selling price

= Rs. 300 - Rs. 255

= Rs. 45

Step 3 of 3 :

Calculate loss percentage

Hence the required loss percentage

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{45}{300} \times 100 \% }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{3}{20} \times 100 \% }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = 15 \% }$
