Question

please solve this step by step​

Answer 1

let no of candies be = x

4 candies = 1rs

1 candie = 1/4

x candies = x/4

since equal number of candiea are brought in the next case so doing same as above

x/5 candies

total cp = x/4 + x/5

9x/20

and number of items are now 2x

therefore selling 2x item

sp = 4x/9

since cp is greater than sp so loss will occur

loss % = loss *100/cp

( cp- sp ) *100/cp

just substitute the above values you will get

1.25%
