Answer 2

Answer:

A man buys 5 dozen eggs at 36 per dozen, out of which 5% got broken. He sold the remaining eggs for 48 per dozen.  The profit percent is 26.66%. ​

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cost of 1 dozen eggs = 36 Rs

Then CP of 5 dozen eggs = 5 x 36= 180

And total number of eggs = 5x 12= 60

If 5% of egg broken

then 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

Profit = SP - CP = 228 - 180 = 48

% profit = Profit/CP  x 100

= 48/180  x 100

= 26.66%
