  1. Answer:

    16.66% approximately

    Step-by-step explanation:

    She made neither profit nor loss on the sale.. So, The buy price = 8000 totally

    Selling price for chair = 4000 with profit of 25%

    So, Selling price = 4000= 1.25* Buy price

    Buy price = 4000/1.25 = 3200

    So, Total buy price of Chair and table = 8000

    3200+Buy price of table = 8000

    buy price of table = 8000-3200 = 4800

    So, Sold price = 4000

    Loss = 4800 -4000 = 800

    Loss percentage = 800/4800 = 16.66%
