1 dozen=12egg
so, cost of 12 egg is= rs8
cost of one egg=12/8=3/2
number of eggs he bought=50*12=600
cost of 600 eggs = 600*3/2=900
number of eggs broken=20
cost of 20 eggs =30
left eggs = 600-20=580
cost of left eggs = 900 - 30= 870
cost of 1 egg=870/580=1.50
loss=1.50-0.80=0.70
loss%=0.7/1.5*100
= 46.66%(answer)
