Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there, here is the solution.

.............................................................................................

Let the cost price of 1 article = x

Find the cost price of the 15 articles:

15 articles = 15x

Find the selling price of the 15 articles:

15 articles = 12x

Find the profit/loss:

Since the selling price is less than the cost price

⇒ It is a loss

Loss = 15x - 12x = 3x

Find the loss percentage:

Loss percentage = 3x/15x x 100 = 20%
