Pls Ans Step By Step​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The man purchased 8 dozen eggs i.e. 96 eggs for Rupees 480, which means that each egg cost him Rupees 5.

Now, 8 out of 96 eggs have been damaged. The remaining eggs are (96–8) i.e. 88.

To have a profit of 10%, he must sell the eggs at a price of Rupees{480 + (10% of 480)} = Rupees{480 + (10/100 × 480)} = Rupees{480 + (1/10 × 480)} = Rupees{480 + 48} = Rupees 528/- .

So, the 88 eggs have to be sold at Rupees 528

So, the rate of each egg would be Rupees (528/88) = Rupees 6

The answer is Rupees 6 per egg.
