Question

the selling price of 24 articles is equal to the cost price of 20 articles. then , find the loss percentage?​

Answer 1

Let CP of 20 articles be Rs 20
SP of 24 articles=20/24=Re 5/6

Loss=1-5/6
=Re 1/6

Loss%=(Loss/CP)*100
=(1/6)/1*100
=50/3
=16.66%

Answer 2

Hey mate!

here is your answer:

step by step explanation :

Let the price of 1 article be x . So, the price of 24 articles will be 24x

Now, 24 x = 20x

Loss =24x-20x=4x

Loss %= loss/cost price×100

=4x/20x×100=100/5=20%

hope it helped^_^
