Answer:
The loss percentage is 20%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, Let the C.P of each candle = Rs.1
C.P of 12 candles = SP of 15 candles
= Rs.15
Let the SP of each candle = Rs.1
SP of 15 candles = C.P of 12 candles
= Rs.12
Loss = C.P - S.P
= 15 - 12 = Rs. 3
Loss percent = (Gain/C.P * 100)%
= (3/15 * 100)%
= 20%
Hence, the loss percentage is 20%.
