Question

the CP of 12 oranges is equal to the SP of 15 oranges. Find loss%​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the sp of one orange = 100

then sp of 15 oranges = 1500

then 12 oranges cost 1500 rs ( since 12 CP= 15 sp)

then CP of one orange= 1500/12= 125

loss = 125-100. (cp-sp)

= 25

loss% = 25/100 * 100 =25%

or

CP of 12 orange = sp of 15 oranges

3 oranges loss

then loss % = 3/12 * 100 = 25%
