Question

If selling price of 5 bottles is equal to the cost price of 4 bottles the gain or loss percent is.

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss percent is 20 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C.P. be 100

CP of 4 bottle is 400

Let SP be x

Therefore, 5x = 400

x = 80.

Since SP is less than CP, it's a loss.

Loss percent = loss / CP * 100 percent.

Therefore it's 20 percent.
