Practicing Success
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: |
12% loss 12% profit 10% loss 10% profit |
12% loss |
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% |
