Question

a grocer bought 480 eggs at rupees 18 per dozen he sold them at gain of 15% find the selling price of 100 eggs

Answer 1

change in dozen =480/12
=40dozen

cp of 40 dozen eggs =40×18
=rs720
so, CP of 480eggs =rs720

sp= CP (100+gain%/100)
=720(100+15%/100)
=rs828
sp of 480eggs with 15% gain=rs828
so,sp of 1egg =828/480
=1.725
so,sp of 100eggs with 15% gain =1.725×100
=rs172.5

Answer 2

Given : A grocer bought 480 eggs at rupees 18 per dozen he sold them at gain of 15%.

To find : The selling price of 100 eggs ?

Solution :

The cost price of 12 eggs Rs.18

The cost price of 1 eggs Rs.$\frac{18}{12}=1.5$

Profit % = 15%

The selling price formula is

$SP=\frac{100+15}{100}\times 1.5$

$SP=1.725$

The selling price of 1 egg is Rs.1.725

The selling price of 100 egg is $1.725\times 100=172.5$

Therefore, the selling price of 100 eggs is Rs.172.5.
