Question

a man bought a dozen eggs for 25 rupees and sold pair for 5 rupees what is the percentage of profit he makes​

Answer 1

• The profit percentage the man makes is equal to 20% .

Given :-

• A man bought a dozen eggs for = Rs. 25
• He sold a pair of eggs for = Rs. 5

To Find :-

• Total profit % he makes ?

Formula used :-

• When selling price (SP) is greater than cost price (CP) , the seller has profit .
• Profit % = (Profit in Rs. × 100) ÷ CP .
• 1 dozen = 12 items .
• 1 pair = 2 items .

Solution :-

given that,

→ cost price of 1 dozen eggs = Rs. 25

so,

→ cost price of 12 eggs = Rs. 25 ----- Equation (1)

and,

→ selling price of a pair of eggs = Rs. 5

so,

→ selling price of 2 eggs = Rs. 5

then,

→ selling price of 1 egg = Rs. (5/2)

→ selling price of 12 eggs = (5/2) × 12 = Rs. 30 ----- Equation (2)

as we can see that,

→ selling price of 12 eggs > cost price of 12 eggs

therefore,

→ Total profit = selling price of 12 eggs - cost price of 12 eggs

→ Total profit = 30 - 25

→ Total profit = Rs. 5

hence,

→ Profit % = (Total profit × 100) ÷ cost price of 12 eggs

→ Profit % = (5 × 100) ÷ 25

→ Profit % = 500 ÷ 25

→ Profit % = 20% (Ans.)
