if the cost price of 15 item is equals to selling price of 20 pens find the loss percent
Answers
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
