Answer 2

Answer:

Grocer earn Rs 6.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

A group of 20 eggs is called scores of eggs.

It is given that a grocer bought 3 scores of eggs at Rs 37 a score.

Total number of eggs is

$3\times 20=60$

Total cost of 3 scores of eggs is

$3\times 37=111$

Total cost is Rs. 111.

We know that

1 dozen = 12 eggs

So, number of dozens in 60 eggs is

$\frac{60}{12}=5$

Number of dozens is 5.

It is given that he sold them at Rs 23.52 a dozen.

Total selling price is

$23.52\times 5=117.6$

The selling price is 117.60.

$Profit=SP-CP=117.60-111=6.60$

Therefore grocer earn Rs 6.60.
