Question

A shopkeeper bought 6 dozen eggs at the rate of Rs.50 per dozen. On the way to the shop 6 eggs broke. At what rate per egg,does he need to sell the remaining to make a profit of 10%

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost = Rs3

Profit% = Profit x 100/CP

     10 = 100 x Profit/3

     3 = 10 x Profit

     Profit = 3/10 = Rs0.3

Total Selling Price = Rs3.3[To obtain 10% profit]

Remaining no. of eggs = 66

Selling price of 1 egg = Total Selling Price/remaining no. of eggs

        = 3.3/66

        = 0.3/6

        = 0.1/2

        = 1/20

        = Rs 0.05

Selling price of 1 egg is Rs0.05
