Question

Jack bought 4 dozen eggs at rs. 10 per dozen. 6 eggs were broken. What percent of his money went waste?

Answer 1

The percent of Jack's money that went waste is 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a dozen eggs there are 12 eggs.

Number of eggs in 4 dozen is, 12 × 4 = 48 eggs.

One dozen cost, Rs. 10.

Then the cost of 12 dozen eggs is, 12 × Rs. 10 = Rs. 120.

So, the cost of 48 eggs is Rs. 120.

Then the cost of 1 egg is, $Rs.\ \frac{120}{48}=Rs.\ 2.5$.

It is provided that 6 eggs were broken.

Cost of 6 eggs is, 6 × Rs. 2.5 = Rs. 15.

So, the amount that was wasted was Rs. 15.

Compute the percent of Rs. 15 of whole, i.e. Rs. 120 as follows:

$Waste\%=\frac{Waste}{Total\ cost}\times 100=\frac{15}{120}\times 100=12.5\%$

Thus, the percent of Jack's money that went waste is 12.5%.
