Answer 2

Answer:

it's 16 2/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The SP of a flower vase is 5/6 of its CP

Let the CP of the flower vase be = Rs.x

Then SP of it is = Rs.5/6 x

Therefore , Loss = CP - SP = x/1 - 5/6 x

Therefore , Loss% = loss/CP *100 = x/6 /x *100

                               = x/6 ÷ x/1 *100

                               = x/6 * 1/x * 100 = 50/3

                               = 16  2/3%
