solution

Given:-

cost price of 5 eggs = 6

selling price of 8 eggs =12

first ,

we find cost price of 1 egg

$c.p \: of \: 1egg = \frac{6}{5 } \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 1.2 \\ \\ now \: find \: cost \: price \: of \: 8 \: eggs \\ \\ c.p \: of \: 8 \: eggs = 8 \times 1.2 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 9.6 \\ \\ s.p \: of \: 8 \: eggs = 12 \\ \\ as \: we \: all \: know \: formula \: of \: profit \\ \\ profit = sp - cp \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 12 - 9.6 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2.4 \\ \\ now \: for \: profit \: \% \\ \\ profit\% = \frac{p}{cp} \times 100 \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{2.4}{9.6} \times 100 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: p\% = 25\%$

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Profit percent = 25 %

● Explaination -

Given that the man buys eggs at 5 for 6 rupees.

Cost price of 1 egg = 6/5

Cost price of 1 egg = 1.2 Rs

Also he sells them at 8 for 12 rupees.

Selling price of 1 leg = 12/8

Selling price of 1 leg = 1.5 Rs

Profit percent is calculated by -

Profit % = (SP-CP)×100/CP

Profit % = (1.5-1.2)×100/1.2

Profit % = 25 %

Hence, profit percent for the man becomes 25 %.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you ..
