Question

Deepak bought 100 eggs for rs 180. out of these 16 egg were found to be broken and he sold the remaining eggs at the rate of rs 25.20 per dozen. find his gain or loss percent

Answer 1

cost of 100 eggs=180
cost of 1 egg= 180/100=9/5

eggs found broken=16
remaining=84
selling price is 25.20 per dozen
1 dozen=12
84=7dozen
cost= 25.20x7
SP=176.40
loss=180-176.40
is 3.60
loss percent=3.60÷180x100
loss percent=2%

Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Loss of 2.111 %

◆ Explaination -

We have cost price of eggs to be 180 Rs.

After breaking 16 eggs, eggs remaining are 100-16 = 84 eggs = 7 dozens.

Selling price of these eggs is 7 × 25.20 = 176.2 Rs.

Now, gain/loss percent is given by -

Gain/loss % = (SP-CP)/CP × 100

Gain/loss % = (176.2-180)/180 × 100

Gain/loss % = -2.111 %

Hence, Deepak had loss of 2.111 % due to eggs selling.

Thanks dear...
