Answer 2

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of an item be x

We are given that the selling price of an article is $\frac{4}{5}th$ of it's cost price

SP of an item = $\frac{4}{5}x$

Loss = CP - SP = $x-\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{1}{5}x$

Loss% = $\frac{loss}{CP} \times 100$

Loss% = $\frac{\frac{1}{5}x}{x} \times 100$

Loss% = $\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{1}\times 100$

Loss% = $20\%$

Hence the loss% is 20%
