Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Santosh bought 400 eggs for 1500 rupees and spent 300 rupees on transport and 50 eggs fell down and broke

400 eggs =1500

1 egg =1500/400

1 egg=3.75 rupees

Total expenditure=1500+300(50  

x

3.75)=1800+187.5

=1987.5

Santosh sold 450 eggs for 5 rupees of each egg=450  

x

5=2250 rupees

Profit or loss=2250−1987.5=262.5 rupees gain.
