Question

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

Answer 1

cp of 12 mangoes = sp of 15 mangoes

sp of 12 mangoes = cp of 15 mangoes ( cp became sp and sp became cp )


let the price of each unit be Rs. 1


cp>sp = loss
loss = cp - sp
= rs. 15 - rs. 12
= rs. 3



loss% = loss /cp× 100

=3/15 ×100
= 20%

Answer 2

cp of 12=sp of 15
loss =3 mangos
loss %=3/12=25%
