Riya purchased 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) dozen eggs at the rate of ₹20 per dozen. She found that 6 eggs were rotten. She sold the remaining eggs at the rate of ₹22 per dozen. Then her profit or loss percent is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
CP of 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) dozen eggs = \(\frac{5}{2}\) × 20 = Rs.50
Total rotten eggs = 6
Remaining eggs = 2 dozen and C.P = Rs.50
SP of 2 dozen = 2 × 22 = Rs.44
Loss = 50 - 44 = 6
Loss % = \(\frac{6}{50}\) = 12%
