Question

a shopkeeper buys 6 dozen eggs at the rate of ₹60 per dozen later he finds that 8 eggs are broken and have to be thrown away he sells the rest at ₹6 each find the percentage of profit earned or loss incurred in the transaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

~47% loss or 46.6666% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

i) 1 dozen is 12 eggs

hence 60 INR at 1 dozen

so 60*6 is 360 INR

Total cost of all eggs is 360 INR

ii ) Total Eggs is 12 * 6 = 36 eggs

If 8 are broken so 36-8 will be 28 eggs

Cost of 1 egg is 6 INR

so cost of 28 eggs will be 28 * 6 = 168 INR

iii ) Loss is 360 - 168 = 192 INR

$\frac{168}{360} * 100$

0.46666666666... * 100

~47% loss or 46.6666% loss
