5.25% Loss

- The dealer claims to sell items at a 15% loss based on the cost price.

- He manipulates weights, using a 20 g weight instead of a 25 g weight.

- This means he gives less product for the same price, effectively increasing his profit.

- Calculating the net effect:

- Actual weight: 25 g; Used weight: 20 g

- He gives 20 g instead of 25 g, saving 5 g per transaction.

- The real loss considering lesser quantity turns to profit.

- Correct Answer: Option 1, 6.25% Profit
