Answer 1

${{ \text{ \underline{ { \underline{Given \: data}}}}}:-}$

◐ A vendor bought 10 dozen eggs at the rate of Rs 22 per dozen.

◐ Six of the eggs were rotten he sold the remaining eggs at the rate of Rs 2.50 per egg.

${{ \text{ \underline{ { \underline{Solution}}}}}:-}$

We know 1 dozen eggs means 12 eggs.

→ Cost of one egg = 22/12

→ Cost of one egg = Rs 1.83

Here,

◐ 10 dozen eggs = 120 eggs

→ Cost of 120 egg = 120 × 1.83

→ Cost of 120 egg = Rs 219.6

{Six eggs are rotten}

Here, 114 eggs are remain. and according to que. remaining eggs at the rate of Rs 2.50 per egg.

→ Selling price of 114 eggs = 114 × 2.50

→ Selling price of 114 eggs = Rs 285

Here, selling price is greater than cost price. hence its profit.

→ Profit = selling price - cost price

→ Profit = 285 - 219.6

→ Profit = Rs 65.4

Hence, profit of vendor is Rs 65.4
