Question

If seling price of 15 pen is equal to the cost price of 12 pens.

Answer 1

Heya...
Here is your answer ----


CP of 12 pens = SP of 15 pens

Let the CP of 1 pen be ₹ 1

=> CP of 12 pens = ₹ 12

=> SP of 15 pens = ₹ 12

=> SP of 1 pen = ₹ 12/15


------>>> CP > SP <<<------

Loss = CP - SP

Loss = 1 - 12/15

Loss = ₹ 3/15

Loss % = Loss/CP × 100

Loss % = [(3/15)/1] × 100

Loss % = 3/15 × 100

Loss % = 3/3 × 20

Loss % = 20%
