Question

Ajay buys 6 dozen eggs for Rs 10.80, and 12 eggs are found rotten and the rest are sold at 5 eggs per rupee. Find his percentage gain or loss.​

Answer:

6 dozen eggs = 72 eggs

72 eggs = 10.80 rupees

1 egg. = 10.80÷ 72 rupees

12 eggs. = 10.80÷72×12rupees

= 1.8 rupees

Now,

Cost of 72 -12 eggs

60 eggs = 10.80÷72 ×60

= 9 rupees

Selling price of 60 eggs

5 eggs for 1 rupee

60 eggs for 60÷5 ×1

= 12 rupees

Gain percentage = Profit / Cost price ×100

= 3/9×100

= 33.3.% gain. (approx.)
