Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume the cost price of 1 table is 1.Therefore,thecostpriceof15tablesis1. Therefore, the cost price of 15 tables is 15.

  2. According to the problem, the selling price of 20 tables is also 15.Therefore,thesellingpriceof1tableis15. Therefore, the selling price of 1 table is 15/20 = $0.75.

  3. The loss on 1 table is the cost price - selling price = 11 - 0.75 = $0.25.

  4. The loss percentage is (loss/cost price) * 100 = (0.25/0.25/1) * 100 = 25%.

So, the correct answer is 25%.
