loss per cent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Profit percentage is 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 100 eggs = ₹50

∴ Cost price of 1 egg = ₹ (100÷50) = ₹2

∵ 4 eggs were broken

∴ cost of broken eggs = ₹8

∴No. of eggs remains = 100 - 4 = 96

∴Total no. of dozen sold = 96 ÷ 12 = 8

∵Selling price of 1 dozen = ₹8.50

∴Selling price of 8 dozen = ₹ (8.50 × 8) = ₹68

∴Profit = selling price - cost price

           = 68 - 50 = 18

∴Profit percentage = Profit ×$\frac{100}{C.P.}$

                                = 18 ×$\frac{100}{50}$ = 18 × 2

                                = 36%

∴ Profit percentage is 36%
