Question
Select the correct answerIf the cost price of 15 tables be equal to the selling price of 20 tables, the loss per cent is?Options30%20%25%37.50%
Solution
Let's solve this step by step:
-
Let's assume the cost price of 1 table is 15.
-
According to the problem, the selling price of 20 tables is also 15/20 = $0.75.
-
The loss on 1 table is the cost price - selling price = 0.75 = $0.25.
-
The loss percent is (loss/cost price) * 100 = (1) * 100 = 25%.
So, the correct answer is 25%.
