Question

4. A man buys 5 dozen eggs at * 36 per dozen. Out of which 5% got broken. He sold the
remaining eggs for 48 per dozen. What was his total gain?​

Answer 1

Answer:

RS 40 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

5 dozen = 5×12 = 60 eggs

cp of 12 eggs= RS 36

cp of 60 eggs= 36×5 = 180

no. of eggs sold by him = 60 - 5= 55 eggs ( as 5 eggs were broken )

selling price of 12 eggs= RS 48

selling price of 1 egg = RS 48÷ 12= 4

selling price of 55 eggs= RS 4×55

= RS 220

total gain = RS 220 - RS 180 = RS 40

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one dozen egg = 36

Cost of 5 dozen eggs = 180

5% of 60 eggs = 5/100*60= 3 eggs

Remaining eggs = 60-3=57

Remaining eggs are sold at 48 per dozen

SP of remaining eggs are

SP of one eggs = 48/12= 4

SP of remaining eggs = 57*4= 228

Gain= 228-180

= 48 RS

He earns a profit of RS 48
