    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

    So , \ selling \ price\ of\ one\ article = \frac{25x}{30}\\\\Therefore , Loss \% = \frac{CP - SP}{CP} \times 100\\

                                =\frac{x - \frac{25x}{30}}{x } \times 100\\\\=\frac{30x - 25x }{30x }\times 100\\\\=\frac{5}{30} \times 100\\\\=16.67 \%

    Answer:

    16.67%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    CP of one article = a\25

    SP of one article= a\30

    loss= a/25 – a/30

    = 6a – 5a

    __________

    150

    loss= a/150

    loss%=a /150×100

    ___________

    a/25

    = 250/15

    = 50/3

    [=16.67%]
