Barnika bought 100 eggs for Rs. 900. Out
of them. 8 were broken. She sold the remaining eggs
at the rate of Rs. 10.50 each. Find the profit or loss
percent.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of an egg= 900/100= Rs.9

Total cost = 100×9=Rs.900

when 8 eggs broken, the eggs remained to sell is 92(100-8)

Total sales = 10.50×92=Rs.966

profit = total cost-total sales

profit =966-900= Rs.66

profit percentage =profit/total sales×100%

66/966×100%=6.832%
