By selling 45 lemons a vendor loses a sum equal to the selling price of 3 lemons. Find his loss percent.

Let selling price (SP) of one lemon = x

Total SP of 45 lemon = 45 x


Loss amount = selling price of 3 lemon = 3x


Loss = total CP – SP


3x = CP – 45x


CP = 3x + 45x


CP = 48x


Percentage loss



Percentage loss = 6.25%
