Answer 2

Answer:

The selling price of one egg is Rs.2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A dealer bought numbers of eggs at Rs.18 a dozen and sold them at 50% profit.

To find : The selling price per egg?

Solution :

Cost price is Rs.18 per dozen

Cost price of one egg is

$CP=\frac{18}{12}=1.5$

Profit%=50%

Formula to find selling price is

$SP=\frac{100+P\%}{100}\times CP$

$SP=\frac{100+50}{100}\times 1.5$

$SP=\frac{150}{100}\times 1.5$

$SP=2.25$

Therefore, The selling price of one egg is Rs.2.25.
