out of these ,20 eggs were found to be broken she sold the remaining eggs at Rs 1.50 per egg .find her gain or loss per cent​

Answer 1

Answer:

8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

she bought 60 dozen at rs. 16 per dozen.

The total cost is 16×50 =rs.800 (CP)

50×12=600 (total eggs)

20 eggs break, the no. of eggs =580.

total SP =1.5×580=rs.780.

800(x/100)=870

8x=870

x=870/8

x=108.75

Answer 2

Question:-

• A woman bought 50 dozen eggs at Rs. 16 a dozen . Out of these , 20 eggs were found to be broken . She sold the remaining eggs at Rs. 1.50 per egg . Find her gain or loss per cent?

Given:-

• A woman bought 50 dozen eggs at Rs 16 a dozen.
• 20 eggs were found to be broken.
• remaining eggs sold at Rs 1.50 per egg.

Solution:-

{ According to question and given }

We know 12 item in an one dozen.

Hence,

• 50 dozen eggs = {50 × 12}eggs
• 50 dozen eggs = 600 eggs

{ According to question and given }

Cost price (C.P) of one dozen eggs

at Rs 16.

Hence,

C.P of 600 eggs = Rs {50×16}

C.P of 600 eggs = Rs 800

{ According to question and given }

From 600 eggs, 20 eggs were found to be broken.

So now,

Remaining eggs = {600 - 20} eggs

Remaining eggs = 580 eggs

Selling price (S.P) of 580 eggs at

Rs 1.50 per egg.

Hence,

S.P of 580 eggs = Rs {580×1.50}

S.P of 580 eggs = Rs 870

Hence, we can conclude that cost price less than selling price so its profit.

[ C.P < S.P ]

Now,

—› Profit = S.P - C.P

—› Profit = Rs { 870 - 800 }

—› Profit = Rs 70

{ Gain percent or Profit percent }

—› Profit % = {Profit × 100}/C.P

—› Profit % = {70 × 100}/800

—› Profit % = 7000/800

—› Profit % = 8.75 %

Hence, gain% or profit% is 8.75 %

Hope it helps you.
