Question

A businessman bought 1,000 eggs. Of these, 90 eggs were hatched and the remaining eggs were sold at a price of Rs 9.60 per dozen, causing a 12% loss. Determine how much money the trader paid for the eggs ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let. C.P. of 200 eggs be Rs. y,

If 38 eggs are broken , then

Remaining eggs = 200 – 38 = 162 eggs

S.P. of remaining 12 eggs = Rs 4.80

∴ S.P. of remaining 162 eggs = Rs.

1

(162 × 4.80)

12

= Rs. 777.6 = Rs. 64.8

12

∴ 108% of y = 64.8

⇒

y × 108

= 64.8

100

⇒ y =

64.8 × 100

= Rs. 60

108
