Assume cost price(CP) of 1 article = x

Therefore cost price of 25 articles = 25x

Given cost price of 25 article = selling price of 30 articles

Clearly, it is a loss.

Selling price(SP) of 30 articles = 25x

$\tt \: So, SP \: of \: 1 \: article = \frac{25x}{30}$

$\tt∴ Loss \: percentage = \frac{CP-SP }{CP} \times 100$

$\tt \: = > \frac{x - \frac{25x}{30} }{x} \times 100$

$\tt \: = > \frac{30x - 25x}{30x} \times 100$

$\tt \: = > \frac{5}{30} \times 100$

$\tt \pink{= 16.67\%}$
