Question

A shopkeeper bought 300 eggs at 80 paise each 30 eggs were broken in transit and then he sold the remaining eggs at 1 Rupee each find his gain or loss as percent

Answer 1

C.P. of 300 eggs = 300×80 = 24000 paise = Rs 240
30 of eggs were broken ,
Total eggs = 300-30 = 270
S.P. of 1 egg = Rs. 1
S.P of 270 eggs = Rs. 270
Profit = S.P-C.P.
=270-240
=Rs 30

Profit % = Profit / C.P × 100
= 30 / 240 × 100
= 12.5 % (Ans)
