20% is the loss present

amvam: Can you explain me the process

vegiramu14: assume that that cost of one orange is 1 rupees and he is buying for 15 rupees and selling it for 12 so 15-12=3 (3/15)*100=20%

amvam: Thank

amvam: you

Hey mate your is ur answer.....

Let the cost price of each orange be ₹ 1.

According to question,

CP of 15 oranges = ₹ 15

SP of 15 oranges = CP of 12 oranges = ₹ 12

Thus, CP = ₹ 15 & SP = ₹ 12

Since CP > SP , there is a loss

Loss = CP - SP

= ₹ (15 - 12)

= ₹ 3

•°• Required loss percent

=(loss/C.P*100)

=3/15*100

=20℅

Hope it helps to you!!
