Answer 1

QUESTION ----- Jack bought 4 dozen eggs at $10 per dozen. 6 eggs were broken. What percent of his money goes waste?

ANSWER
_____________________________

1 Dozen = 12
4 Dozen = 48 Eggs

Price of 1 dozen = $10

Price of 4 Dozen = $40

48 eggs cost $40

So, 1 Egg cost = 48/40

1 Egg costs = 6/5
1 Egg cost = $ 1.2

6 Eggs were broken
So cost of broken Eggs = $1.2 × 6

Cost of Broken Eggs = $7.2

% of money wasted = Waste / Original × 100

=> 7.2/ 40 × 100

=> 72 / 400 × 100

=> 72 / 4

=> 18 %

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 dozen eggs = $10

12 eggs = $10

Cost of half dozen eggs = $5

6 eggs = $5

Therefore,

Money lost for 6 brokeneggs = $5

Total Cost of eggs =4 dozens X $10

= $40

Percentage of money lost :

( Money lost ÷ total money ) X 100

= ( 5/ 40 ) × 100

= 5 x 2.5

= 12.5%
