Answer 2

Answer:

16.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the c.p.of 1 article be x

so,the c.p. of 10 articles be 10x

it is given that;C.P of 10 articles = S.p of 12 articles =10x

now,the S.p of 12 articles =10x

therefore,the S.p of 1 articles is 10x/2 = 5x/6

here C.P >S.P. hence, it is a loss

loss = C.P-S.P

= x -5x/6

= 6x-5x/6

= x/6

Now for loss %

Loss% = loss/C.P./times 100%

= (x/6/x)×100%

=1/6×100%

=16.67%

Hence,the answer is it a loss..Loss% = 16.67%
