Question

A man purchased 5 dozen of eggs at RS 5 each 10 eggs were broken and he sold the remaining at RS 5.70 each. Find his profit or loss.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According To Question

He bought 5 dozen of egg . ie. 5 * 12 = 60 .

Rate of each egg is 5 when he purchased.

Therefore the total cost of eggs are :

60 * 5 = 300 Rs.

Now ; he broke 10 eggs so remaining eggs = 60-10 = 50 .

He sold the eggs at 5.70Rs. each

So cost of remaining eggs =

50 * 5.70 = 285 Rs.

So he has the loss of

300-285 = 15 Rs.

Answer 2

1 egg = rs.5
12 egg = 12 multiply by 5 = rs. 60
Remaining = 2 = cp = 2 multiply by 5 = rs.10
SP = rs.5.70
CP >SP
Therefore he had a loss .
10.00
-5.70
4.30

Therefore , he had a loss of rs.4.30
