Answer 1

60×8.40=504.00

If 462=100% then 110% =?
110/100×462=508.2
55dozen =508.2 then 1 dozen=?

per dozen he sold = 92.4

Answer 2

Solutions :-

Given :

Shopkeeper bought 60 dozens eggs at Rs 8.40 per dozen.
Cost Price of 60 Dozens eggs = Rs 8.40 × 60 = Rs 504

5 Dozens eggs are broken.
Remaining eggs = 60 - 5 = 55 dozens eggs.

Find the Selling price of 55 Dozens eggs to get a profit of 10 % :-

S.P = C.P + Profit % of C.P
= 504 + 10% of 504
= 504 + 0.10 × 504
= 504 + 50.4
= 554.4

So, The Selling price of 55 dozens eggs = Rs 554.4
Selling price of 1 Dozen eggs = Rs 554.4/55 = Rs 10.08

Hence,
the Selling price of 1 Dozen eggs to get a profit of 10% is Rs 10.08
