Answer 1

Answer:

profit% 8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

total no. of egg 50×12=600

total cost of 50 dozen 50×16=800

CP RS 800

20 egg removed

now egg 580

selling price of 580 egg 580×1.5=RS 870

S P is greater

s p - c p 870-800 =70

it's profit

profit%=70÷800×100=8.75%

Answer 2

Answer:

90.81%

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 1 dozen of eggs = 16 rs...

then ,

cost of 50 dozen of eggs = 16× 50 ×12 rs.

=9600

if 20 eggs are broken then ,

9600 - 320 = 9280

loss = cp -sp

= 9600 -9280

= 320

loss % =( 320/9600 ) ×100 %

= 3.33 %
