Question

9. A man bought two consignments of eggs, first at 18 per dozen and an equal number at 20 per dozen. He mixed the consignment and sold the eggs at 23.75 per dozen. Find his gain percent.

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Cp of 1 dozen eggs = (38÷2 ) = 19

Sp of 1 dozen eggs = 23.75

cost of 2 dozen eggs = 23.75×2 = 47.50

Sp of 2 dozen eggs = 47.50

Profit = 47.50-38= 9.50

profit percent = Profit×100÷Cp

= 9.50×100÷38

=25%
