A woman bought 50 dozen eggs at ₹16 a dozen. Out of these,20 eggs were found to be broken. She sold the remaining eggs at ₹1.50 per egg. Find her gain or loss percent.

purchase price = 50(16) = 800

proceeds in selling = 580(1.5) = 870

percent profit = 70/800 = 8.75%

To find the gain or loss percent, we need to determine the cost price and the selling price.

First, let's calculate the cost price (CP) of the 50 dozen eggs.

She bought 50 dozen eggs at ₹16 per dozen, which means she paid 50 x ₹16 = ₹800 for 50 dozen eggs.

Now, we need to subtract the cost of the broken eggs. Since there were 20 eggs found to be broken, the cost of the broken eggs is 20 x ₹16 = ₹320.

Therefore, the effective cost price (ECP) of the remaining unbroken eggs is ₹800 - ₹320 = ₹480.

Next, let's calculate the selling price (SP) of the remaining eggs.

She sold the remaining eggs at ₹1.50 per egg, and the total number of remaining unbroken eggs is 50 x 12 - 20 = 580 eggs.

So, the selling price of the remaining eggs is 580 x ₹1.50 = ₹870.

To calculate the gain or loss percent, we can use the formula:

Gain or Loss percent = [(SP - CP) / CP] x 100

Substituting the values:

Gain or Loss percent = [(₹870 - ₹480) / ₹480] x 100

= (₹390 / ₹480) x 100

= 0.8125 x 100

= 81.25%

Hence, the woman made a gain of 81.25%.
