Question

A man bought 50 dozen eggs for 36 per dozen. 24 eggs were found
rotten and had to be thrown. For how much per dozen should he sell so as
to gain 10% in the whole transaction?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of a dozen eggs = 36

cost of 50 dozen eggs = 50 × 36 = 1800

2 dozen eggs were rotten so now he have 48 dozen eggs to sell so that he made 10% of profit

10% of 1800 = 180

selling price of 48dozen eggs = 1800+180 = 1980

selling price of a dozen eggs = 1980/48 = 41.25
