Question

A shopkeeper bought 300 eggs for ₹450. Out of these 12 eggs were found broken. He sold the remaining eggs at the rate of ₹21 per dozen. What is his profit?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rupees 50

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 100 eggs=250Rs

therefore cost of 1 egg=(250/100)Rs=2.5 Rs

now 10 eggs are broken..

so the number of good eggs=90 pcs

now he sold eggs at the rate of 40 Rs/dozen

therefore....

selling price of 12 pcs eggs=40 Rs

so, selling price of 90 eggs

=[(40/12)×90]Rs

=300 Rs

therefore total profit=(300-250)Rs=50Rs
