Question

Ram bought 100 eggs for Rs 180. Out of these 16 eggs were broken and he sold the reaming eggs at the rate of Rs 25•20 per dozen. Find his gain or loss %

Answer 1

CP of 100 eggs=₹180

16 eggs Were Broken

Egg Remain

100-16=84 eggs

MEANS

84 Eggs CP=₹180

We know 1 dozen=12

84/12=7 dozen

7 dozen CP=₹180

Now

SP of 1 dozen=₹25.20

SP of 7 dozen=25.20×7

=₹176.4

Loss=CP-SP

=180-176.4

=₹3.6

Loss%

$\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100 \\ \\ \frac{3.6}{180} \times 100 \\ \\ = 2\%$

Loss=2%

Answer 2

Ram bought 100 eggs =Rs 180

16 eggs are damage

100 -16=84

Then Ram sold a egg per dozens is Rs25.20

1 dozen=12

= 84÷12

=7

reaming 7 dozens eggs

he sold 1 dozen = 25•20

= 7×25•20

= Rs176•40

Then

we know that

loss=cp_sp

=180_176•20

= Rs4•20

=Rs 4

=4/180×100

=4/18×10
