Answer 1

Answer:

5.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Dozen=12

price of each egg=Rs 4

Total price=4*12*4

=Rs 192

Seven were broken=4*7

=21

192-21=171

To gain 10% profit he should sell them at rate of

192*110/100=211.2

12*4=Total eggs=48

To gain Rs 211.2 he should sell each egg at rate of 211.2/41=Rs 5.15

Answer 2

Answer:

Question :-

• A vendor bought 4 dozen eggs at 34 each. 7 of these were broken. At what price per dozen should he sell the remaining eggs so as to gain 10% on the whole?

Answer

It is given that vendor bought 4 dozen eggs at ₹ 34 each.

It implies, Cost of 1 dozen egg = ₹ 34

So, Cost of 4 dozen eggs = 34 × 4 = ₹ 136

It means Cost of 48 eggs = ₹ 136.

Now, 7 eggs are broken.

So, remaining number of eggs = 48 - 1 = 47

⇛ Cost price of 41 eggs = ₹ 136.

Now, the vendor wishes to gain 10 % of the cost of eggs.

Profit = 10/100 × 136 = ₹ 13. 60

⇛ Selling price of all eggs = ₹ 136 + ₹ 13. 60 = ₹ 149. 60

⇛ Selling price of 41 eggs = ₹ 149. 60

⇛ Selling price of 1 egg = 149.60 ÷ 41 = ₹ 3. 65

⇛ Selling Price of 12 eggs = 12 × ₹ 3.65 = ₹ 43.8

Additional Information

Profit, P = SP – CP; SP>CP

Loss, L = CP – SP; CP>SP

P% = (P/CP) x 100

L% = (L/CP) x 100

SP = {(100 + P%)/100} x CP

SP = {(100 – L%)/100} x CP

CP = {100/(100 + P%)} x SP

CP = {100/(100 – L%)} x SP

Discount = MP – SP

SP = MP -Discount
