4crate of eggs was bought for 7200, 15eggs were cracked and was sold for #600, and the remaining was sold for #700 each. How profit or loss was made?

Profit = (700 x (4 x 15) - 7200) + 600 = #600
Of course the bot is wrong.
We don't know how many eggs in the crate, so let's ignore the number
of crates, it has nothing to do with the question
let the number of eggs purchased be x
return from sale = 15*600 + 700(x-15)
= 9000 + 700x - 10500
= 700x - 1500
profit = 700x - 1500 - 7200
= 700x - 8700
percentage profit = (700x - 1500) / 7200 * 100%
= (7x - 15)/72 * 100%
= 25(7x - 15)/18 %
e.g suppose he bought 120 eggs for 7200
then his profit would be 15*600 + 105(700) - 7200 = 75300
we should get the same result from 700x - 8700
= 700(120) - 8700 = 75300
so once you tell me what x is, we could finish the question.
