Question

The cost of four dozen eggs is rs 10, 6 of these 4 dozen eggs are split, then the loss will be in percentage .

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss of 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, cost of 4 dozen eggs = Rs.10 i.e (48 eggs = Rs.10)

6 eggs were broken = 48-6 = 42 eggs.

Cost of 42 eggs = X

10/48 = X/42

X = Rs. 8.75

Loss money = 10 - 8.75 = 1.25

Loss percentage = (1.25/10) x 100

Thus = 12.5%
