Question

A woman bought 50 dozen eggs at Rs 6.40 a dozen. Out of these 20 eggs were found to be broken. She sold the remaining eggs at 55 paise per egg. Find her gain or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Total eggs = 50 * 12 = 600

C P = 6.4 * 50 = 320 Rs

Eggs remaining = 600 - 20 = 580

S P = 0.55 * 580 = 319 Rs.

As CP > SP

Loss = CP -SP = 320 - 319 = 1 Rs

Loss % = 1 / 320 * 100 = 5 / 16 = 0.3125 %
