1 dozen = 12 eggs
16 dozen = 16x12 = 192 eggs .
given per dozen = ₹20
12eggs = ₹20
192 eggs = 192x20/12 = ₹ 320 .
cp of 192 eggs ₹320
given 6 eggs were rotten = 192-6 = 186.
given sp of each egg = ₹2.
so 186 x 2 = ₹372.
sp is 372. and cp is ₹320
sp is more so profit.
profit = sp - cp = 372 - 320 = 52
profit% = 52/320 x 100 = 16.25.
in mixed fraction = 16 1/4.
hence profit % = 16.25.

16dozen eggs
1dozen=20rupees
total cp=16×20=320 rupees
1dozen=12
16dozen=16×12=192eggs
in which 6 eggs are rotten
remaining eggs=192-6=186eggs
sold at =2 rupees per egg
TOTAL SP=186×2
=372 rupees
GAIN=sp-cp
=372-320
=52 rupees
So gain percent=gain/cp×100
=52/320×100
=16whole1/4
1dozen=20rupees
total cp=16×20=320 rupees
1dozen=12
16dozen=16×12=192eggs
in which 6 eggs are rotten
remaining eggs=192-6=186eggs
sold at =2 rupees per egg
TOTAL SP=186×2
=372 rupees
GAIN=sp-cp
=372-320
=52 rupees
So gain percent=gain/cp×100
=52/320×100
=16whole1/4
okay thank you
