Question

If the cost price of 12 pens is equal to selling price of 15 pens.find loss%

Answer 1

Heya ✋

Given that

CP of 12 pens = SP of 15 pens

Solution

Let the SP of 1 pen be ₹1. Then,

SP of 15 pens = ₹15

CP of 15 pens = ₹15

SP of 12 pens = ₹12

CP > SP = Loss

Loss = CP - SP

= ₹(15 - 12)

= ₹3

Loss % = Loss/CP × 100

= 3/15 × 100

= 20 %
