Question

A man buys 5 dozen eggs at rs. 36 per dozen. out of which 5% got broken. He sold the remaining eggs for rs. 48 per dozen. what was his total gain​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Step-by-Step solution:

Cost price of 1 dozen = Rs.36

So the cost of 1 egg =3612=Rs.3

So the cost of 5 dozen eggs =36×5=Rs.180

Therefore the cost price of 5 dozen eggs =Rs.180

Since 5% of eggs are broken in 5 dozen =5100×5×12

⇒ 3 eggs are broken of total eggs

Total numbers of eggs = 60

Numbers of eggs are remaining to sell = 60 – 3= 57 eggs

Now he sold eggs Rs.48 per dozen

So the selling price of one egg =4812=Rs.4

Now the price of total eggs =4×57=Rs.228

So the selling price = Rs.228

So the total money gain by the man = 228 – 180 = Rs.48

Gain money = Rs.48
