Step-by-step explanation:

Let the CP of 1 pen be Rs.x.

Therefore, the CP of 15 pens = Rs.15x

CP of 15 pens = SP of 20 pens

SP of 20 pens = Rs.15x

SP of 1 pen. = Rs.15x/20

= ₹3x/4

Loss. = CP - SP

= ₹x - ₹3x/4

= ₹x/4

Loss percentage = loss/ CP *100

= (₹x/4) / ₹x *100

= 25

Ans. = The loss percentage is 25%.

Answer:

If the cost price of 15 pens is equal to the selling price of 20 pens,

Let the cost price of each one be ₹x and the selling price of each pen is y.

Cost price of 15 pen = 15 × x = 15x

Selling price of 20 pen = 20 × y = 20y

As per statement :

15x = 20y

y = 15x/20

y = 3/4×

y = 0.75x

Loss percentage = (Cost price - sale price)/Cost price ×100

Loss % = (x - 0.75x)/x ×100

Loss % = 0.25x/x × 100

Loss % = 0.25 × 100

Loss % = 25%

Answer the percentage loss is 25 percent
