Question

A grocer buys eggs at 10 for rs 8 and sells at 8 for rs10.find his gain or loss percent.

Answer 1

I want to tell that what the values u have given that finds me that the person has earned the money as much he spent so at what price he would sell the more 2 eggs he have will decide the profit or loss

Answer 2

Here he had purchased 10 fr rs.8
and sold 8 for rs 10
other two eggs are with him stil
SO we ned to claculate both for 8 eggs
1 case: 8/10=each egg=rs0.8==8*0.8=Rs.6.4
2nd case 8egs==each egg=8*1.25=Rs.10
NOTE WE ARE CALCULATING FOR ONLY 8 EGGS BCOZ HE SOLD ONLY 8 EGGS

profit/cp*100
PROFIT 10-6.4=3.6
3.6/6.4*100

56.25% profit(8 eggs) other two eggs are unsold
