Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

₹24 gain

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price = 5 dozen x 36

= 5 x 12 = 60 x 36 ÷ 12 = 3

60 x 3 = 180

So, CP is 180

Number of eggs broken = 5/100 x 180

= 9

So, number of eggs he sold = 60 - 9 =  51 eggs

Cost = 48 per dozen

So for 1 egg = 48 ÷ 12 = 4

51 x 4 = 204

Gain = SP - CP

= 204 - 180

= ₹24 gain
