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)
