The selling price of 8 mangoes is equal to the cost price of 5 mangoes. Then the percentage of loss is1). 202). 37.53). 25.754). 30.65

Answer»

Let the COST price of 5 mangoes be RS.x

So, the cost price of 1 mangoes = Rs.(x/5)

The SELLING price of 8 mangoes is EQUAL to the cost price of 5 mangoes.

Then, the selling price of 8 mangoes = Rs.x

So, the selling price of 1 mangoes = Rs.(x/8)

Loss = Cost price – Selling price = Rs.(x/5) – (x/8) = Rs. 3x/40

Hence, the required loss percentage = [(3x/40)/(x/5)] × 100 = 300/8 = 37.5
