Question

the cost price of 12 candles is equal to the selling price of 15 candles find the loss percent​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

since,cp of 12 candles = cp × 12

since,sp of 15 candles = sp × 15

therefore, cp × 12 = sp × 15

= cp/sp = 15/12

it shows cp = rs15

and sp = rs12

loss = cp - sp

= 15 - 12 = 3

loss% = loss/cp × 100

= 3/15×100

=20% ans

Answer 2

$\huge \mathbb{ \underline{ \underline\red{ \red{S{ \pink{O{ \blue{L{ \purple{U{ \orange{T { \red{I{ \blue {O{ \green {N{ \: :-}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}$

$\: \: \:$

$\tt{Let \: SP \: of \: 1 \: candle = Rs. \: 1} \:$

$\tt{SP \: of \: 15 \: candles = Rs. \: 15} \:$

$\sf \pink{ \underline{Hence, }}$

$\tt {CP \: of \: 12 \: candles = Rs. \: 15}$

$\tt{SP \: of \: 15 \: candles = Rs. \: 12} \:$

$\sf \pink{ \underline{Therefore \: Loss}}$

$\tt = CP - SP$

$\tt = 15 - 12$

$\large \boxed { \sf { \red{= Rs. 3}}}$
