Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6 dozen of eggs = 6  x  12 =72

price of 72 eggs at 10.8 each = 72 x 10.8 = 777.6 rupees

12 are rotten and the rest are sol at 5 rupees each=

                           (72-12) x 5

                            60 x 5 = 300 rupees

% of loss  = 300/777.6 x 100 = 38.58%

he experiences 38.58% loss
