Question

a man buys eggs at 2 for 1 and an equal number of 3 for rs 2 and sells the whole at 5 for rs 3 his gain or loss percent is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose he bought :

Two eggs for 1 means cp = 0.5

Three pen for 2 means cp = 2/3

He sold 5 for 3 means sp = 3/5

so, (cp - sp)/cp * 100

= (0.5 + 0.67 - 0.6)*100

= 0.57*100

= 57 % loss
