Question

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

Answer 1

5×12×3=180 cp
53× 4=212sp
212-180=32
32×100/180
17.778

Answer 2

C.P OF 1 DOZEN EGGS = RS. 36

C.P. OF 5 DOZEN EGGS = RS.36× 5 = 180

TOTAL NO. EGGS = 5 DOZEN

= 12× 5 = 60 PIECES

PERCENTAGE OF BEOKEN EGGS = 5%

NO. OF BROKEN EGGS = 5% OF 60 PIECES

= 5/100 × 60

= 3 PIECES

REMAINING EGGS = 60 - 3

= 57 PIECES

NOW ,

SP OF 1 DOZEN EGGS = RS. 48

S.P OF 12 PIECES EGGS = RS. 48

S.P OF 1 PIECE EGG = 48/12 = 4

SP OF 57 PIECES EGGS

= 4 × 57 = 228

PROFIT = S.P. - C.P

= 228 - 180

RS. 48

.
