Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Cost price of 25 kg of vegetables ( CP ) = 25 × 20

= Rs 500

Loss amount = Rs 50

Selling price ( SP ) = ?

Loss percent = ?

Now, let's find the loss percent :

$\mathsf{ (loss)/(cost \: price) * 100\%}$

$\mathsf{ = (50)/(500) * 100\%}$

$\mathsf{ = 10\%}$

Loss % = 10 %

Now, let's find the selling price:

$\mathsf{ (CP(100 - l\%))/(100) }$

$\mathsf{ = (500(100 - 10))/(100)}$

$\mathsf{ = (500 * 90)/(100) }$

$\mathsf{ = (45000)/(100) }$

$\mathsf{= 450}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
