Let the CP of 12 oranges be Rs x

Therefore, C.P of 1 oranges =

$\frac{x}{12}$

S. P of 15 oranges = x

S. P. of 1 Orange =

$\frac{x}{15}$

Loss = C. P. - S. P.

$= \frac{x}{12} - \frac{x}{15} \\ = \frac{5x - 4x}{60} = \frac{x}{60}$

Loss% = x by 60 by x into 100

=

$\frac{x}{60 \times x} \times 100 = \frac{5}{3} = 1 \ \frac{2}{3}$

Hope it helps
