Question

A shopkeeper buys 60 dozen eggs at 8.40 per dozen. If 5 dozen eggs are broken and unsaleable,
at what price per dozen must he sell the remaining eggs to make a profit of 10%?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

He must sell the eggs at $10.08 per dozen to make a profit of 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a profit of 10% Find out what 10% of the total amount of money he spent is, then add it onto the total.

8.40 x 60=504

504 x 1.10( this will add the 10%)= $554.40

Divide the amount of money he wants to make by how many dozen eggs he has to sell.

$554.40 divided by 55= $10.08

Hope this helps :)
