Question

a man bought some egg at 3 for ₹16 and sold them at 5 for ₹36 thus he gained ₹168 in all how many eggs he purchased​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of eggs bought be x

CP = 16x/3

SP = 36x/5

CP of 15 eggs = 16×5=80

SP of 15 eggs = 36×3= 108

SP is greater than CP , hence there is a profit

profit = SP-CP = 108-80=28

no. of eggs = 168/28×15 = 90 eggs
