Hey there!!!
Santosh has a loss of 50 rupees.
Step-by-step explanation:
400 eggs = 1500
money for transport = 300
Total expenditure= 1800. (TOTAL COST PRICE)
He broke 50 eggs.
Remaining eggs= 350
One egg was sold = 5
Total earnings= 350× 5
= 1750 (TOTAL SELLING PRICE)
so, cost price > selling price
therefore , Santosh has a loss of 50 rupees.
(loss = cost price - selling price)
