Question

A man buys 5 dozen egg at Rs 36 per dozen. Out of which 5% got broken . He sold the remining eggs for Rs 48 per dozen .What was his total again?

Answer 1

CP = 5 x 36= 180
total number of eggs = 5x 12= 60
number of broken eggs=
$\frac{5}{100} \times 60 \\ 3$
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
