Answer 2

The loss percentage of the vendor is 10%.

Given:

Let S.P. of 1 chocolate = Re. 1

Solution:

Therefore, S.P. of 18 chocolate = Rs. 18

According to question, vendor losses S.P. of 2 chocolates.

Therefore, C.P. of 18 chocolates = 18+2 = Rs. 20 --------- (1)

Loss = C.P- S.P  

= 20-18  

= Rs. 2 ---------- (2)

Loss% = $\frac{L o s s}{C . P}$ X 100---------- (3)

From eq. 1, 2 and 3

Loss% $=\frac{2 \times 100}{20}$

$=\frac{200}{20}$

= 10%

Hence, the Loss% is 10%.
