Cost price of 1 doz (= 12) eggs = Rs16
Cost price of 1 egg = Rs 16/12
Cost price of 50 eggs = Rs 50*16/12 = Rs 200/3 --------- (1)
20 eggs were broken (wasted)
Remaining No. of eggs = 50 - 20 = 30
Selling price of 1 egg = Rs 1.50
Selling price of 30 eggs = Rs 1.50 * 30 = Rs 45.00 ------ (2)
Cost price being more than the selling price, there cannot be gain
Loss = Rs(200/3 - 45) = Rs(200 - 135)/3 = Rs 65/3
Percentage of loss = 100 * (65/3) / (200/3) = 32.5
