Question

Answer 1

Answer:there is a profit of rupees 50 that is 20% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 100 eggs out of which 10 were broken

Therefore

Eggs remaining=100-10=90

The shopkeeper sold 90eggs for 40rupees a dozen

Hence no of dozen =90/12=7.5

Selling price = 7.5X40

=300

SP is greater than CP

Therefore,

Profit =300-250

=50

Profit %=50/250X100

=20%

The shopkeeper earned a 20% profit
