Question

A shopkeeper bought 200 eggs out of which 38 were broken, he sold the remaining eggs at the rate of 4
per dozen and thus gained 8%. Find his total investment.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Remaining egg =200-38=162 eggs

price of 12 eggs = Rs 48

price of one egg = 48/12=Rs 4

Total Rs he gained by eggs = 162×4=Rs 648

let the price at which he buy the all eggs be X.

sold price = 8/100×X+X

=>648 =2/25×X+X

=>648 =2X/25+X

=>648 =(2X+25X)/25

=>648 =27X/25

=>648×25/27=X

=>24×25=X

=>600=X

=>X=600

So, his total investment = Rs 600
