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%.
