Cost price per egg = 8/10 = 0.8.

Selling price per egg = 10/8 = 1.25.

Gain = 1.25 - 0.8 = 0.45

%gain = (0.45 *100)/0.8 = 56.25%.

C.P of 10 eggs = rs 8
Therefore, CP of 1 egg = 8/10 = 4/5

S.P of 8 eggs = rs 10
And, S.P of 1 egg = 10/8 = 5/4

Therefore, profit = S.P - C.P
=5/4 - 4/5
=(25 - 16)/20
=9/20

So,profit % = (9/20)รท4/5 x 100
=(9/20) x (5/4) x 100
=225/4 %
=56.25 %
Hope it helps...!!!
