Answer:
Loss = 16.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume cost price(CP) of 1 article = x
Therefore cost price of 25 articles = 25x
Given cost price of 25 article = selling price of 30 articles
Clearly, it is a loss.
Selling price(SP) of 30 articles = 25x
[tex]So , \ selling \ price\ of\ one\ article = \frac{25x}{30}\\\\Therefore , Loss \% = \frac{CP - SP}{CP} \times 100\\[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{x - \frac{25x}{30}}{x } \times 100\\\\=\frac{30x - 25x }{30x }\times 100\\\\=\frac{5}{30} \times 100\\\\=16.67 \%[/tex]
