Answer 1

Answer:

total he earned was 60rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

his loss 2.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

jhon brought,

100 eggs for 40 rupees

1 eggs for 40/100 rupees

= 2/5=0.4 rupees

4 eggs were broken so,

4 eggs cost 0.4*4 = 1.60 rupees

after that,

remaining 4 eggs sold at tge rate of 7.50 per dozon

so,

12 eggs for 7.50/-

1 eggs for 7.50/12

4 eggs for (7.50/12)*4

. = 2.50

therefore ,Loss = (2.50-1.60)= 0.90 /-

Loss in 40 rupees is 0.90

so , Loss in 100 rupees. (0.90/40)*100

. = 2.25%
