Answer 2

There is loss of 10.71%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of oranges bought = 15

Cost price = Rs. 21

Cost price of each orange is given by

$\dfrac{21}{15}=\dfrac{7}{5}=Re.\ 1.4$

Number of oranges sold = 20

Selling price = Rs. 25

Selling price of each orange would be

$\dfrac{25}{20}=\dfrac{5}{4}=Re.\ 1.25$

So, There will be loss and loss would be

$Loss=CP-SP\\\\Loss=1.40-1.25\\\\Loss=0.15$

So, Loss percentage would be

$\dfrac{0.15}{1.4}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{15}{1.4}\\\\=10.71\%$

Hence, there is loss of 10.71%.
