Question

A lady buys 150 eggs at 32 for a Rs 100 and again 150 eggs at 48 for a Rs 100 and sells them 40 for a Rs 100. How much does she gain or lose percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss of 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total cost price:

32 eggs = Rs 100

1 egg = 100 ÷ 32 = Rs 3.125

150 eggs = 3.125 x 150 = Rs 468.75

48 eggs = Rs 100

1 egg = 100 ÷ 48 = Rs 100/48

150 eggs = 100/48 x 150 = Rs 312.50

Total number of eggs = 150 + 150 = 300

Total cost = 468.75 + 312.50 = Rs 781.25

Find the selling price:

40 eggs = Rs 100

1 egg = 100 ÷ 40 = Rs 2.50

300 eggs = 2.50 x 300 = Rs 750

Find the profit/loss

Rs 781.25 > Rs 750 ⇒ loss

Loss = 781.25 -  750 = Rs 31.25

Find the loss percentage:

Loss Percentage = 31.25/781.25 x 100 = 4%

Answer: She losses 4%
