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!!
thanks for marking me brainliest
Ur welcome
