Q9 of 35 Page 175

Niyamotchacha has bought 150 eggs at the rate of Rs. 5 each. But after bringing to the shop, he saw that 8 eggs are broken and 7 eggs are rotten. If he sells each egg at Rs. 6, then what will be the profit/loss percentage of Niyamotchacha — let us calculate and write.

Formula used.


Loss/profit percent = × 100


Cost price of 1 egg = Rs. 5


Cost price of 150 egg = Rs. 5×150 = Rs. 750


If 8 eggs are broken and 7 eggs are rotten


Remaining eggs are 150 – 8 – 7=135


Selling price of 1 egg = Rs. 6


Selling price of 135 eggs= Rs. 6×135 = Rs. 810


Profit = Selling price – Cost price


= Rs. 810 – Rs. 750


= Rs. 60


profit percent = × 100%


= × 100%


= 8 %
