Answer 1

Answer:

16.667%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the selling price of the flower vase is 5/6 of its cost price

Let the cost price of flower vase be ₹ x

Thus the selling price of the flower vase

5/6 of x = ₹5x/6

We know Loss = (cost price - selling price)

Loss = (x - 5x/6) = (6x - 5x)/6 = x/6

Loss% = loss/cost price × 100

Loss% = x/6 / x × 100

Loss % = x/6 × 1/x × 100

Loss% = x/6x × 100 = 100/6

Loss % = 16.667%

The percentage loss on sale of flower vase is 16.667%
