fiven dozen eggs = 12 ×5 = 60 eggs
cost of 60 eggs = Rs.36
cost of 1 egg = 36/60 = Rs. 0.6
number of eggs get broken = 5% of 60
= 5× 60/ 100 = 300/100 = 3 eggs
remaining eggs
= 60 -3 = 57 eggs
cost of 57 eggs = 57 × 0.6 = Rs 34.2
selling price of 57 eggs = Rs. 48
gain = 48 - 34.2 = Rs 13.8
gain% = 13.8 / 34.2 × 100
= 40.3 %.
