Question

A dealer bought a number of eggs at Rs. 36 a dozen and sold them at 50% profit. Find the selling price per egg.​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is given that

C.P. of one dozen eggs =12 eggs = Rs. 18

Profit =15%

We know that

S.P. of 12 eggs =[1+50/100] of Rs.18

It can be written as

=(150/100×18)

By further calculation

= (3/2 × 18)

So we get

=3×9

=Rs.27

S.P. of 1 egg =Rs.27/12

So we get

=Rs.9/4

=Rs.2.25

Answer 2

Answer:

The right answer will be ₹4.5 cost of each egg
