Question

Rashida bought 25 dozen eggs at the rate of 9.60 per dozen .30 eggs were broken in the transaction and she sold the remaining eggs at one rupee each. Find her gain or loss percentage

Answer 1

1 dozen egg =12 eggs
cost price=25*9.60
               = 240rs
no. of eggs=25*12=300
no. of eggs sold=Total no. of eggs - broken eggs
                         =300-30=270
selling price of 1 egg=1rs
selling price of 270 egg=270rs
profit=270-240
        =30rs
profit %= 30*100/240
            =100/8=12.5%
