Question

If the selling price of 25 balls is equal to the cost price of 15 balls,find the profit or loss percentage.​

Answer 1

let cp of 1 ball = 1 ruppee

cp of 15 balls = 15 ruppee

cp of 25 balls = 25 ruppee

sp of 25 balls = 25 ruppee

cp of 15 balls = sp of 25 balls (given)

loss = cp - sp

loss = 25 - 15

= 10 ruppee

loss% = loss/cp × 100

=10/25 × 100

=40%

Answer 2

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP of one ball is ₹1

CP of 15 balls = ₹15

CP of 25 balls ₹25

CP of 15 balls = SP of 25 balls ( Given )

So, SP of 25 balls = ₹15

Finding Loss :

CP is more. Hence, loss occurred.

Loss = CP - SP

Loss = 25 - 15

Loss = ₹10

Finding Loss Percentage :

Loss Percentage = (Loss/CP) x 100

=> (10/25) x 100

=> 40%

Hence, Loss Percentage is 40%
