Answer 2

◆ Answer -

Profit percent = 25 %

● Explaination -

Given that the man buys eggs at 5 for 6 rupees.

Cost price of 1 egg = 6/5

Cost price of 1 egg = 1.2 Rs

Also he sells them at 8 for 12 rupees.

Selling price of 1 leg = 12/8

Selling price of 1 leg = 1.5 Rs

Profit percent is calculated by -

Profit % = (SP-CP)×100/CP

Profit % = (1.5-1.2)×100/1.2

Profit % = 25 %

Hence, profit percent for the man becomes 25 %.
