Answer 1

Hello Friend

Here is your number

Let the Cost price of one Cadbury chocolate is Rs 1

Cost price of 15 chocolate is Rs 15

Cost price of 20 chocolate is Rs 20

As selling price of 20 chocolate is equal to the cost price of 15 chocolate

SP = Rs 15

CP = Rs 20

As SP IS LESS THAN CP SO THERE IS LOSS

LOSS = CP - SP
$= 20 - 15 \\ = 5$
Loss % = Loss × 100/ CP
$= \frac{5}{20} \times 100 \\ \\ = 25\%$
Therefore there is Loss of 25%

Hope it helps you

Let the Cost price of one Cadbury chocolate is Rs 1

Cost price of 15 chocolate is Rs 15

Cost price of 20 chocolate is Rs 20

As selling price of 20 chocolate is equal to the cost price of 15 chocolate

SP = Rs 15

CP = Rs 20

As SP IS LESS THAN CP SO THERE IS LOSS

LOSS = CP - SP

\begin{gathered}= 20 - 15 \\ = 5\end{gathered}

=5

Loss % = Loss × 100/ CP

\begin{gathered}= \frac{5}{20} \times 100 \\ \\ = 25\%\end{gathered}
