15% loss on selling price is what percentage loss on cost???

• Unless Selling Price as a % of Cost price is not known, any % loss on Selling Price cann't be measured in terms of Cost.

• Let Selling Price (SP)=100
  given loss=15% So Cost Price=115
  Now Loss % on Cost Price = (15/115)*100
  
  Loss %=300/23
  So Loss % = 13.04%

• if the selling price loss is 15%
  then the cost price is also the same so ans is 15%

• assume cost price is rs.100
  if 15% loss on selling price means rs.85
  
  so loss on cost will be rs.15
  now 85 is what % of 15..?
  
  85*15/100= 12.75%
