Answer 1

SP16=CP15
SP/CP=15/16

loss%=1×100/16= 25/4%

Answer 2

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of 1 spoon be Re. 1

So, cost price of 15 spoons = Re.15

Cost price of 16 spoons = Rs. 16

Since we are given that the selling price of 16 spoons is equal to the cost price of 15 spoons

So, SP of 16 spoons = CP of 15 spoons = Rs.15

Loss = CP of 16 spoons – SP of 16 spoons =$16-15 = 1$

So, Loss = Re.1

Loss% = $\frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100$

Loss% = $\frac{1}{16} \times 100$

Loss% = $6.25\%$

Hence the Loss percent is 6.25%.
