Basma buys 600 golf tees for 32p each.She sells 12 of the tees for 33p each.She sells 33.5% of the tees for 31p each.She sells the rest of the tees for 30p each.Calculate her percentage loss.

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the golf tees Basma bought.

Basma bought 600 golf tees for 32p each. So, the total cost is 600 tees * 32p = 19200p.

Step 2: Calculate how much Basma earned from selling the golf tees.

She sold 12 tees for 33p each, so she earned 12 tees * 33p = 396p from these.

She sold 33.5% of the tees for 31p each. 33.5% of 600 tees is 201 tees (rounded to the nearest whole number). So, she earned 201 tees * 31p = 6231p from these.

The rest of the tees, which is 600 tees - 12 tees - 201 tees = 387 tees, were sold for 30p each. So, she earned 387 tees * 30p = 11610p from these.

So, the total amount she earned from selling the tees is 396p + 6231p + 11610p = 18237p.

Step 3: Calculate Basma's loss.

Her loss is the total cost of the tees minus the total amount she earned from selling them, which is 19200p - 18237p = 963p.

Step 4: Calculate the percentage loss.

The percentage loss is the loss divided by the total cost, times 100%, which is (963p / 19200p) * 100% = 5.01%.

So, Basma's percentage loss is approximately 5.01%.
