Question

A SHOPKEEPER BOUGHT 60 EGGS AT 80 PAISE EACH.5 GGS WERE BROKEN IN TRANSACTION THEN HE SOLD THE REMAINING EGGS AT ONE RUPEE EACH.FIND THE GAIN OR LOSS PERCENT.

Answer 1

he bought eggs at 60*0.80=rs.48
he sold remaining 55 egges at 55*1=Rs.55
total gain=55-48=Rs.7
so gain percent=(7/48)*100=14.6%

Answer 2

The total number of eggs is 60 at 80 paise each.

                         = 60 * 80

                         = 4800 paise
 
                         = 48 rupees.


Given, 5 eggs were broken = 60 - 5

                                               = 55.

Gain = 55 - 48

        = 7.

Gain% = 7*100/48

           = 14.5%.

 
Hope this helps!
