a) 18.75%

b) 16.25%

c) 20.50%​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 18.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cp for 12 eggs = Rs. 96

so, Cp for per egg = Rs. 96 ÷ 12 = Rs. 8

Now,

Sp for per egg = Rs. 9.50

Again,

profit % = [(9.50- 8) × 100] ÷ 8

= 150 ÷ 8

= 18.75%

so, option 1 is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

A man bought eggs for RS 96 per/dozen

Step-by-step explanation:

‍ Note:- ( 1 dozen = 12 )

step a)Cost Price of a Egg is = 96 / 12

(or ) 96 ÷12 rs = 8 rs

1 egg = 8 rs

step b) Selling price of a Egg is = 9.50 rs per/egg

So , we will found 9.50 × 12 or (dozen)

= 114 rs

profit % = 114-96 = 18rs

Profit % = 18 ÷ 96 × 100 = 18.75 %

So, option (a) 18.75 % is right ✔️ ANS.✍️
