उत्तर

C.P. of 300 eggs @ 80 paise each

= 300 × 80 = 24000 paise = Rs.240

No. of eggs which were broken in transaction = 30

Remaining eggs = 300 − 30

= 270

S.P. of eggs @ Rs.1 each = 270 × 1= Rs.270

Gain = S.P. − C.P.

= Rs.270 − Rs.240 = Rs.30

Gain% =`"Gain"/"C.P."xx100`

`=30/240xx100`

`=100/8%=12.5%`
