Answer:
360 eggs is 30 dozens. So the Total Cost Price was 30x12= Rs 360.
Substracting the broken and rotten ones from the Total number of eggs bought,
360-(60+30)=270 i.e, 22.5 dozens.
The Total Selling Price= 22.5x15= Rs. 337.5
Since Total Selling Price < Total Cost Price. Hence it was a loss.
Therefore, Loss Percent= {(360-337.5)=360}x 100 % = 6.25%
