​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Maya brought 3 dozen eggs for 144

6 were broken

remaining eggs were 30

2 dozen and 6 eggs

She sold it for ts 50 dozen

i.e. 50+50+50÷2

100+25

125

She made a loss of Rs 19

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As 3 dozen eggs cost Rs. 144 so 1 egg will cost

144/(3×12)= 4 i.e. Rs 4

As profit of maya sbould be 10% which means she should sell all eggs at Rs50*3= 150 i.e. Rs 150

As 6 of his eggs are found broken so left eggs are 12×6-6 = 66

So he has to sell 66 eggs in Rs 528 to earn 10% profit

So cost of one egg should be 144/661 =  2.18 i.e. Rs 2.18

So the retailer will sell his egg at cost of Rs. 2.18
