Answer 2

Solution:  

Given Data:

According to the question:

A Shopkeeper bought

Six dozen eggs = Rs .150

Broken eggs = 12  

To Find:

Calculate the price of eggs:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  

Hence 8 dozen eggs cost Rs. 480  

So 1 egg will cost

$=\frac{480}{8 \times 12}$

$=\frac{480}{96}$ = Rs.5

Step 2:

Profit=Rs 480+480 $\times \frac{10}{100}$ = Rs 528

Step 3:

As 8 left eggs are 12 $\times$8-8=88  

Step 4:

Therefore cost of 1 egg is $\frac{528}{88}$  = 6 i.e. Rs 6

Step 5:

Result:

So the retailer will sell his egg at cost of Rs. 6.
