Question

The selling price of 25 items is equal to the cost price of 20 items. What is the percentage of loss?

A.

20%

B.

23%

C.

21%

D.

25%

Correct option is A

GIVEN:
the cost price of 20 items = ₹20 And,
the selling price of 25 items = ₹20
FORMULA:
Loss % = (Loss/Cost Price) × 100
the selling price of 1 item = ₹20/25 = ₹0.80
Now, Loss per item = Cost Price - Selling Price = ₹1 - ₹0.80 = ₹0.20
= (0.20/1) × 100
 = 20%
