Answer 2

$\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\mathfrak{\green{Solution :\longrightarrow }}}}}$

$\bold{For \: \: the \: \: suitcase} \\ \\ \bold{CP = Rs \: \: 2525} \\ \\ \bold{SP = Rs \: \: 2146.25}$

$\bold{Since \: \: CP > SP, \: \: loss}$

$\bold{Loss = CP - SP} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:\:\:\bold{ = Rs \: \: (2525 - 2146.25)} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:\:\:\bold{ = Rs \: \: 378.75}$

$\bold{Loss \: \% = (\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100)\%} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:\:\: \bold{= ( \frac{378.75}{2525} \times 100)\%} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \bold{= 15\% }\: \: \: \: \bold\red{\boxed{Ans}}$
