Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

400 eggs purchased in 1500

Transportation 300

Means 400 eggs brought in 1800(1500+300)

Now 50 eggs broken then he has only 350 eggs to sell

400 eggs = 1800

1 egg = 1800÷ 400=4.5 rs

Now he sells at 5 rs per egg

So 350×5=1750(350 eggs left to sell)

Selling price- cost price= loss

1750-1800= -50 and

So he has loss of 50
