Question

A lady bought 40 dozens eggs at the rate of rs 12 per dozen. 48 were broken. she told the remaining eggs at the rate of rupees 18 per dozen. find profit or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

40 dozen of eggs

Cost per dozen = 12

Cost price = 40×12 = 480 rupees

40 dozens = 40×12 = 480 eggs

In these 48 were broken

= 480-48 = 432 eggs at 18 per dozen

432 eggs = 36 dozens

Selling price = 36×18 = 648 rupees

Gain = 648 - 480 = 168

Profit % = profit /cp×100

= 168/480×100

= 35%
