Cost of 1 Dozen Eggs=12.50
Cost of 10 Dozen Eggs=12.50*10=125
Number of Eggs Bought=10 Dozens
=>10*12=120 Eggs
therefore
Cost of One Egg=125/120=1.04
Number of Eggs Broken=5
Balance number of Eggs=120-5=115
Selling Price of Each Egg=Re.1
Loss=1.041-1.00
=>0.041
Loss%=(LOSS*100)/C.P.
=>(0.041*100)/1
=>4.10%
