Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First we need to find cost price (cp) of 1 item
2. Secondly, we need to find selling price(sp) of 1 item
3.loss= cp - sp
4. loss% = loss/cp *100
Completly solved :
Cp of 12 items is ...₹ 86
Cp of one item is 86/12 = ₹ 7.17
Sp of 15 items is ₹ 43
Sp of 1 items is ₹ 43/15= ₹ 2.87
Loss = 7.17 - 2.87 = ₹4.3
Loss% =4.3/7.17 *100 = 59.97%
