Question

A man buys eggs at Rs 9.60 per dozen and sells 20 eggs for Rs 18. what is his gain or loss per cent?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A dozen is 12. A score is 20.

One egg bought at Rs 9.60 per dozen is thus Rs 0.80 (9.60 divided by 12)

One egg sold at Rs 18 per dozen is Rs 0.9. (18 divided by twenty)

Profit is thus Rs 0.10 per egg. His gain over the purchase price is 1/8th (or 12.5%)

(Edited to fix typo)....

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is that he will get a profit of 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen of eggs =12 eggs

cost of one dozen of eggs = 9.60 rs

so cost price of one egg=9.60/12=0.8 rs

cost of 20 eggs = 18 rs

so cost of each egg in a pack of 20 eggs=18/20

selling price of each egg=0.9 rs

now, profit = selling price-cost price

profit=0.9-0.8=0.1

now,profit percent= profit/cost price *100

profit percent=0.1/0.8*100=100/8=12.5%

so the man will get a profit of 0.1 rs over each egg

and he will get a total profit of 12.5%
