Answer 2

Answer:

Loss % = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets C.P of one article be ₹1.

Then, C.P of 15 articles = ₹(1×15) = ₹15

According to question,

C.P of 15 articles = S.P. of 20 articles

If C.P. of 15 articles is ₹15.

Then, S.P. of 20 articles = ₹15

C.P. of 20 articles = ₹(1×20) = ₹20

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

= ₹(20 - 15)

= ₹5

Loss % = (Loss/ C.P) × 100

= (5/20) × 100

= (1/4) × 100

= 100/4

= 25%
