Question

A dealer bought a number of eggs at Rs. 18 a dozen and sold them at 50% profit. Find the selling price per egg

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2.25 per egg

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of one dozen eggs = Rs. 18

Profit = 50 %

SP of one dozen eggs = 18 x 150% = Rs. 27

Selling Price per egg = 27/12 =  Rs. 2.25

Answer 2

CP=18

Profit=20%

=(100+50*18)/100

SP=27

Therefore,SP of 1 egg = 27/12

=2.25
