Answer 2

Answer:

Loss in percentage is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

let us take Cost Price  of 12 candles = x

Cost price  of 1 candle = x/12

Selling of 15 candles = x

Selling price of 1 candle = x/15

$loss = CP - SP\\= x/12 - x/15\\=( 5x - 4x )/60\\= x/60$

Loss in percentage is

$\frac{100x}{60 \times \frac{x}{12} } \\= \frac{100}{5} \\=20%$

Loss in percentage is 20%
