Question

9. A shopkeeper bought 6 dozen eggs at the rate of 50 per dozen. On the way to the shop, 6 eggs broke. At what rate per egg does he need to sell the remaining to
make a profit of 10%?
​

Answer 1

Answer: Rs.5

Step-by-step explanation: 1 dozen of eggs= 12 eggs

6 dozen= 12 x 6= 72 eggs

Cost price= 1 dozen= Rs 50

Cost price- 6 dozen= 50 x 6= Rs 300 for 6 dozen of eggs

Remaining eggs = 72 - 6 = 66eggs

Selling price of 66 eggs = a  

a/300  x  100 =  110

a = 110 x 3  = 330

SP of 66 eggs = Rs. 330

SP for one egg = 330/66 = Rs.5

Hope it helps!!
