%

Answer 1

Answer:

20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose

c.p 100

loss - 1/5 which is 20

than loss% is 20%

Answer 2

Loss                = 1/5*CP

Loss Percent = Loss/CP*100

                       = 1/5*CP/CP*100

                       = 1/5*100 {Cancel both 'CP'}

                       = 100/5 = 20%

Therefore, Loss% = 20%
