37.88888888 and it just keep repearing so there is no right answer dont foeget to mark me as the best answer
Hi,
To solve this problem, Let us take the LCM of 10 and 16 which will come 80.
Now suppose the cost price of 10 tables =₹n CP of 80 tables will be ₹ 8n
According to the question, CP of 10 tables is equal to the SP of 16 tables, then
the SP of 16 tables will also be ₹ n.
So, SP of 80 tables will be ₹ 5n
So, Loss = CP-SP
→ 8n - 5n = ₹ 3n
Loss%= (3n×100)/8n
Loss%= 37.5%.
Hence the correct answer will be a <u>loss of 37.5%.</u>
