☞ANSWER:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost price of 12 bananas be Rs. 100
So, Cost of 1 banana = 100/12
= Rs. 8.33
So, cost of 15 bananas = Rs. 100
Cost of 1 banana should be 100/15
= Rs. 6.66
Now here CP > SP, so here is LOSS.
Loss = Rs. (8.33-6.66)
= Rs. 1.67
So, Loss % = 1.67/8.33×100
= 20.04% (approx)

Answer:
The loss percentage is 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the CP of 12 bananas be x
So, the SP of 15 bananas =x
So, the CP of 1 banana is x/12
and the SP of 1 banana is x/15
Loss for 1 banana =(CP-SP)
=(x/12)-(x/15)
=x/60
So, loss percentage =
(loss for 1 banana/cp of 1 banana)×100%
=(x/60)/(x/12)×100%
=20%
Hence, the loss percentage is 20%.
