Question

The cost price of 15 articles is equal to the selling price of 12 articles.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let C.P. of 1 article =Rsx

Then, C.P. of 12 articles =Rs12x

Given, S.P of 15 articles = C.P. of 12 articles

So, S.P. of 15 articles= 12x

Since, S.P.<C.P., for 15 articles there is a Loss

So, Loss % = C.P./

C.P.−S.P.×100= 15x/15x−12x × 100

= 15/3 × 100 =20 %
