pls gave answer in detail step by step ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of 1 banana = Rs 1

15 dozen banana=15× 12 = 180 bananas

price of 180 bananas = 180×1 = Rs. 180

amount seller lost = selling price of 20 bananas = 20 ×1 = Rs 20

cost price = selling price - loss

cost price = 180 - 20 = Rs 160

loss% = loss/ cost price × 100

loss % = 20/160 × 100

= 200/16 = 12.5

hence, loss = 12.5 %
