Question

och Find his profit and profit percent.
A man purchased 5 dozen of eggs at Rs 5 each. 10 were broken and he
sold the remaining at Rs 5.70 each. Find
his total profit or loss.
Profit or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cp of eggs = 5×5 dozen=5×60=300 rupees

total eggs =60

broken eggs =10

remaining eggs =60-10=50

sp of eggs =50 ×5.70=285

sp <cp

loss=cp-sp = 300-285=15

therefore loss is 15 rupees

loss% = loss/cp × 100

= 15/300 ×100

= 1/20×100 after dividing 300 by 15

= 100/20

= 5 %
