- #5The selling price of 15 articles is equal to the cost price of 12 articles. Find the gain or loss as percent.Ans : S.P. of 15 articles = C.P. of 12 articles
Let C.P. of 1 article = Re.1
C.P. of 12 article = Rs.12
and C.P. of 15 articles = Rs.15
S.P. of 15 articles = Rs.12
[S.P. of 15 articles = C.P. of 12 articles]
Loss = Rs.15 - Rs.12 = Rs.3
Loss% = 3/15 × 100 = 20%
