10 Dozen = 10x12 = 120 Eggs
Purchase Price = 6.25 Per Dozen
Purchase Price of 10 Dozen (Total) = 10x6.25 = Rs. 62.5
Now,
Purchase Price (Total) = 120 Eggs at Rs. 62.5
Total Remaining Eggs = Total 120 - 5 broken Eggs = 115 Eggs
Selling Price (Total) = 115 Eggs at Rs. 0.6 each = Rs. 69
It's a Gain
Gain (%) PERCENTAGE = (Gain/Cost Price) x 100 = (6.5/62.5)x100 = 10.4
ANSWER = gain of 10.4%
