☞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%.
