Hey....!!! here is ur answer

Let the price of 1 candle = 1 Rs.

Now, given that...

C.P. of 12 candles = S.P. of 15 candles

=> C.P. × 12 = S.P. × 15

=> C.P./S.P. = 15/12 = 5/4

=> C.P. = 5 & S.P. = 4

=> As we know that......loss = C.P.–S.P.

=> loss = 5–4 = 1

Then loss% = (loss/C.P.)×100

=> loss% = (1/5)×100

=> loss% = 20%

I hope it will be helpful for you..!!

THANK YOU ✌️✌️✌️
