Answer 1

Answer : $\bold{Profit \: Percentage \: = \: 7.25 \%}$


Step - by - Step Explanation :-

Given :

She bought = 50 dozen eggs

Per dozen = ₹ 16


Finding the eggs :-

Per dozen = 12 eggs

50 dozen = 50 x 12 = 600

Total eggs = 600

In which, 28 are broken.

Remaining eggs = 600 - 28

Remaining eggs = 572


Finding the CP of eggs :-

Per dozen = Rs 16

50 dozen = 50 x 16 = ₹ 800

CP of Total eggs = ₹ 800


Finding the SP of eggs :-

1 egg = ₹ 1.50 (Given)

572 eggs = 572 x 1.50 = ₹ 858

So, SP of 572 eggs = ₹858

Selling Price is more so it's profit.


Finding the Profit :-

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 858 - 800

Profit = ₹ 58


Finding profit percentage :-

Profit Percentage = (profit/cp)x 100

=> (58/800) x 100

=> 7.25%


Hence, profit percentage = 7.25%
