Answer 1

Answer:

33and half %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of each apple be x

Then, CP of 3 apples = 3x

SP of 3 apples = CP of 2 apples = 2x

Thus, CP = 3x and SP = 2x

Since (SP) < (CP) , there is a loss.

Loss = (CP-SP) = 3x-2x =1 x

Loss %= Loss/CP×100

= 1x / 3x × 100 = 33 and half %
