Answer 1

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

◐ wholesaler purchased 100 eggs at the rate of Rs 36 per dozen.

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

We know, one dozen egg means 12 eggs.

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{Cost \: of \: 1 \: egg = \frac{36}{12} }}}$

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{Cost \: of \: 1 \: egg = Rs \: 3 }}}$

Hence,

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{Cost \: of \: 100 \: eggs= 100 \times 3 }}}$

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{Cost \: of \: 100 \: eggs= Rs \: 300 }}}$

Here,

→ Cost price (C.P) of eggs = Rs 300

→ Selling price (S.P) of eggs = ?

→ Profit % need to gain on 100 eggs = 15%

Now,

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{ S.P = \frac{(100 + Profit \: percent)}{100} \times C.P}}}$

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{ S.P = \frac{(100 + 15)}{100} \times 300}}}$

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{ S.P = \frac{115}{ \cancel{100}} \times { \cancel{300}}}}}$

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{ S.P = 115 \times 3}}}$

${ \sf{ \dashrightarrow{ S.P =Rs \: 345}}}$

Hence, wholesaler need to sell 100 eggs at Rs 345 to gain profit 15 % .
