Question

a man bought 40 dozen eggs at the rate of rs 12 per dozen . 48 eggs were broken. he sold the remaining egg at the rate of rs 15 per dozen . find the profit loss percent ?

Answer 1

Answer:cost price of eggs=40×12=₹480

Eggs sold =480-48=432

Money earned after selling 432 eggs

= ₹432/12×15=₹540

Profit%=60/480×100=12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Profit % would be 22.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of dozen eggs = 40

Cost per dozen = Rs. 12

So, Total cost price = $40\times 12=480$

48 eggs were broken,

Remaining eggs would be

$40\times 12-48\\\\=480-48\\\\=432$

Number of remaining dozen of eggs = $\dfrac{432}{12}=36$

Cost of each dozen = Rs. 15

So, Selling price of dozen of eggs = $15\times 36=540$

So, Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 540 - 432=108

Profit% would be

$\dfrac{108}{480}\times 100\\\\=22.5\%$

Hence, Profit % would be 22.5%.
