Answer 1

$\textbf{Answer}$

Grocer buys 10 dozens of eggs.
1 dozen = 12 eggs
=> $\textbf{10 dozens of eggs = 120 eggs}$

Cost of 1 dozen = 18 Rs
=> Cost price of 120 eggs = 180 Rs
Grocer spent 24 Rs on transportaion,
=> Total money spent = 180+24
=> $\textbf{Total money spent = 204.4 Rs}$

Since 10 eggs were broken,
Remaining eggs = 120 - 10
=> $\textbf{Remaining eggs = 110}$

If groces wants to earn profit of 10% on the total money spent,
That means the selling price,
SP = 204 + (10% of 204)
=> SP = 204 + 20.4
=> $\textbf{SP = 224.4 Rupees}$

So selling price of 110 eggs = 224.4 Rs
=> Selling price of 1 egg = 224.4/110

$\textbf{Selling price of 1 egg = 2.04 Rupees}$

Answer 2

Grocer buys 10 dozens of eggs.
1 dozen = 12 eggs
=> \textbf{10 dozens of eggs = 120 eggs}10 dozens of eggs = 120 eggs 

Cost of 1 dozen = 18 Rs
=> Cost price of 120 eggs = 180 Rs 
Grocer spent 24 Rs on transportaion,
=> Total money spent = 180+24
=> \textbf{Total money spent = 204.4 Rs}Total money spent = 204.4 Rs 

Since 10 eggs were broken,
Remaining eggs = 120 - 10 
=> \textbf{Remaining eggs = 110}Remaining eggs = 110 

If groces wants to earn profit of 10% on the total money spent,
That means the selling price,
SP = 204 + (10% of 204) 
=> SP = 204 + 20.4
=> \textbf{SP = 224.4 Rupees}SP = 224.4 Rupees 

So selling price of 110 eggs = 224.4 Rs
=> Selling price of 1 egg = 224.4/110

\textbf{Selling price of 1 egg = 2.04 Rupees}Selling price of 1 egg = 2.04 Rupees
