Question

A grocer purchased 5 dozen of eggs at Rs 8 each. 10 eggs were broken and he sold the remaining at Rs 9 each. find his total profit or loss​

Answer 1

Answer:

As 8 dozen eggs cost Rs. 480 so 1 egg will cost

480/(8×12)= 5 i.e. Rs 5

As profit of man sbould be 10% which means he should sell all eggs at Rs 480+480×10/100= 528 i.e. Rs 528

As 8 of his eggs are found broken so left eggs are 12×8-8 = 88

So he has to sell 88 eggs in Rs 528 to earn 10% profit

So cost of one egg should be 528/88 = 6 i.e. Rs 6

So the retailer will sell his egg at cost of Rs. 6
