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
