Hi friend, here's your answer. ↓

Cost price = ₹9072 for 12 umbrellas
cost price of one umbrella = 9072/12 = ₹756

selling price = that of 4 umbrellas
= 4 x 756 = ₹3024

Loss = CP - SP
9072-3024
= 6048

Loss %= L/CP x 100
= 6048/9072 x 100
= 3024/4536 x 100
= 1512/2268 x 100
= 2/3 x 100
= 200/3
= 66.66%

Loss = 66.66%

SP of each ☔ = SP/Total no. of umbrellas.
= 3024/12
= 756/3
= 252

SP of each ☔ = ₹252.

Therefore, Shamu incurred a loss of 66.66% and the selling price of each umbrella was ₹252.

Hope you found my answer useful .

Answer:Let x be the selling price of 1 umbrella.

From the given condition

12x=9072-4x

x=567

Total SP of 12 umbrellas=6804

Then,loss=4x

=4*567

=2268

Loss%=2268/9072*100

=25%.
