Rate for buying bananas:
+5%2F4+ RS/bananas
+80%2A%285%2F4%29+=+100+ RS spent for 80 bananas
-------------------------
Selling rate:
+5%2F8+ RS/bananas
25% were spoiled, so only
+.75%2A80+=+60+ could be sold
+60%2A%285%2F8%29+=+37.5+ RS collected
---------------------------------
+37.5+-+100+=+-62.5+ RS is the loss
The % loss is:
+100%2A%28+62.5%2F100+%29+=+62.5+
62.5% loss
----------------

Shahid bought 80 bananas at the rate of 4 bananas for RS 5 and sold at the rate of 5 bananas for RS8.
Find that he is in profit or Loss and also find its percentage, when 25%of bananas are spoiled
:
He bought 80 bananas and sold 60 bananas (25% less)
Find the total cost: 80%2F4 * 5 = $100
Find the total received 60%2F5 * 8 = $96
:
He has a loss: 100 - 96 = $4 which is 4/100 = 4% loss
