Answer 1

Answer:

12(1/2)%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost price of football =Rs.120

Selling price of football =Rs.105

Since (SP)<(CP), so there is a loss

Loss =(CP)−(SP)

=Rs.(120−105)

=Rs.15

Loss %={(Loss/CP)×100}

={15/120)×100}

={15/12)×10}

={150/12}

=12.5%

=12(1/2)%

∵ 12(1/2)% is answer
