Answer:
6.25% loss
Explanation:
360 eggs = 30 dozen eggs
Total CP = Rs.12 × 30 = Rs.360
Number of eggs broken = 60
Number of eggs rotten = 30
Remaining eggs = 360 - 90 = 270
270 eggs = 22.5 dozen
SP of 1 dozen = Rs.15
Total SP = Rs.15 × 22.5 = Rs.337.50
CP > SP
Hence, loss = Rs.360 - 337.50 = Rs.22.50
Loss percent = 22.50/360 × 100 = 6.25%
