    Explanation

    Let cost price (C.P) of 1 article = Re. x C.P of 21 articles = 21 × x = Rs. 21x S.P of 21 articles = C.P of 18 articles= 18 × x = 18x ∴loss  %=C.P−S.PC.P×100⇒Loss  %=  21x−18x21x×100⇒Loss  %  =321×100Loss  %=1427\begin{array}{l} \therefore loss\;\% = \frac{{C.P - S.P}}{{C.P}} \times 100\\ \Rightarrow Loss\;\% = \;\frac{{21x - 18x}}{{21x}} \times 100\\ \Rightarrow Loss\;\% \; = \frac{3}{{21}} \times 100\\ Loss\;\% = 14\frac{2}{7} \end{array}
