broke in transit and he sold the remaining at the rate of 1.30 per egg. Find his loss
or profit per cent.
​

Answer 1

answer:

he find loss of ₹22

Step-by-step explanation:

the reasons is he brought 300 eggs for for 360.

and 40 where broken

so the remaining eggs is 300-40

=260

=260×1.30

=338

so the shopkeep get ₹338 by selling the eggs

but he brought for ₹360

the cost he brought -cost he selled

360-338

= ₹22

so the shopkeeper get loss

0.22% of loss

Answer 2

=>C.P of 100 eggs = 120

=>C.P of 300 eggs = 120×3 = 360rs

=>40 eggs were broken

=>therefore total eggs left = 300-40 = 260

=>Sp of 1 egg = 1.3

=>Sp of 260 eggs = 260×1.3 = 338rs

Therefore,

=>Loss = Cp-Sp

=>360-338 = 22

Loss = 22rs
