Answer 1

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

I would like to answer in easily understanding way:

Lets take selling price of each apple be 1 re ,

so selling price of 60 apple is 60 Rs.

There is loss equal to selling price of 4 apples which equals to 4 Rs.

so the cost price is 64 rs ( 60 rs + 4 rs)

Percentage of loss = 4/64*100 = 6.25%
