Answer the question step-by-step.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5÷20=1/4

1/4×100=25%

25 percent is the loss percent

Answer 2

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

let selling Price of 1 sofa = x

then,selling price of 20 sofa = 20x

so, selling Price of 5 sofa = 5x

According to question,

loss= selling price of 5 sofa=5x

we know that,

Loss = C.P-S.P

C.P= loss + S.P,

C.P=5+ 20=25

Loss%=(loss/C.P×100)

loss%=5/25×100

1/5×100=20%. ☺Answer
