Answers
Since she bought 50 dozen eggs at rupees 16 a dozen, the total cost is 16*50=800 rs.(Cost Price)
50*12= 600 total eggs.
When 20 eggs break, the number of eggs then become 580.
Total selling price= 1.5*580
= 870 rupees.(Selling Price)
800*(x/100) = 870
8x=870
x=870/8
=108.75
Therefore the gain percent is 8.75%
Answer:8.75% profit
Step-by-step explanation:
1dozen =12 eggs
The cost of 50 dozen of eggs= 50×16
= 800rs
(C.P)
Total eggs= 50×12=600
No.of eggs broken = 20
Then no.of eggs becomes = 600-20=580
He sold per egg at = 1.5
580 eggs cost =580×1.5=580×15/10=870rs(S.P)
:S.P>C.P, it is a profit.
Profit℅=(S.P-C.P)/C.P ×100
=(870-800)/800 ×100
=70/800×100=8.75%
