(i) his total profit or loss.

Dear User,

Answer to your query is provided below

(i) Total Loss = Rs. 15

(ii) Loss percent = 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Eggs purchased = 5x12 = 60

Total Cost = 60x5 = Rs 300

Eggs Broken = 10

Eggs Broken cost = 10x5 = Rs. 50

Eggs sold = 60-10 = 50

Egg Sale cost = 50x5.70 = Rs 285

(i) Total Loss = C. p. - S. p. = 300 - 285 = 15

(ii) Loss Percent = (Loss/CP) x100 = (15/300) x100 = 5%
