Answer 1

cost price of eggs is equal to 1600 x 3.75 =6000
selling price of 900 x is equal to rupees 2 X 900 equal to 1800
selling price of 700 x is equal to 700
total selling price is equal to 1800 + 700 is equal to 2500
cost price is greater than selling price so there is loss
6000 minus 2500 is equal to 3500
loss percent is equal to 3500 / 6000 X hundred is equal to58.333 %
