Question

A man buy 5 dozen egg at $36 per dozen out of which 5%got broken he sold the remaining egg for $48 per dozen what was his total gain?

Answer 1

Answer:

= 5 x 36= 180

total number of eggs = 5x 12= 60

number of broken eggs

= 5/100 x 60

=3

remaining eggs = 60-3 = 57

Now

number of dozen = 57/12 =( 4+ 3/4) dozen

cost of 4 dozen = 48 x 4= 192

cost of 3/4 dozen = 3/4 x 48 = 36

total money = 192 + 36 = 228

gain = 228 - 180 = 48

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen =12 eggs

5 dozen = 60 eggs

C.P of 5 dozen eggs=$36×5 =$180

Eggs broken=5%

Number of eggs broken=5% of 60

=5/100×60

=3 eggs

Eggs left=60-3 = 57

S.P of eggs per dozen = $48

S.P of one egg=48/12

=$4

S.P of 57 eggs =4×57

=$228

S.P IS GREATER THAN C.P

Here,

PROFIT=S.P-C.P

=228-180

=48

THEREFORE, PROFIT =$48

FURTHER,YOU CAN FIND PROFIT%

PROFIT%=PROFIT×100/C.P

=48×100/180

=26.666666.....%

THEREFORE,PROFIT%=26.66%
