Question

A man bought 360 eggs at $ 18 per dozen. 40 egg where broken and 20 egg were rotten. What would be his profit or loss if he sells the rest at $ 20 per dozen? ( A ) Profit Rs 40 ( B ) Loss Rs 35 ( C ) Loss Rs 40 ( D ) Loss Rs 30

Answer 1

Answer:

C) loss of Rs. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

total eggs purchased = 360

360/12 = 30 dozen

cost of one dozen eggs = 18

cost of 30 dozen eggs = 30 × 18 = 540

number of eggs broken = 40

number of eggs rotten = 20

total = 40 + 20 = 60

60/12 = 5 dozen

remaining good eggs = 360 - 60 = 300

300/12 = 25 dozens

selling price is 20 per dozen

25 × 20 = 500

loss = cp - sp

= 540 - 500

= 40

loss = Rs. 40
