Answer 2

Answer:

Hlw mate, here is your answer ♥️

Step-by-step explanation:

cp of five pencils= sp of eight pencils

sp of five pencils= cp of eight pencils

sp= rs. 5, cp= rs. 8

loss= cp- sp

loss= rs.8-rs. 5

loss= rs. 3

loss% = loss/cp× 100

loss% = 3/8×100

loss%=75/2

loss%= 37 whole 1/2
