Answer 1

Answer:

Cost on 1 egg= 16/12

                         1.33

cost of 50 eggs=1.33*50

                            66.5

eggs broken=20

remaining eggs=30

cost of 1 egg for selling=1.50

cost of 30 eggs=1.50*30

                            45

loss=66.5-45

        21.5

loss%=21.5/66.5*100

loss%=32.33%
