Question

Adnan bought 96eggs at the rate of RS.40per dozen and sold at the rate of RS.4 per egg. Find the percentage of profit, if 3 eggs were rotten

Answer 1

Answer:

profit percentage = 16.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

buying price of 1 dozen (12) eggs = rs 40

buying price of 96 eggs = rs 40 × 96 / 12 = rs 320

3 eggs were rotten. so eggs sold = 96 - 3 = 93

selling price of 1 egg = rs 4

selling price of 93 eggs = rs 4 × 93 = rs 372

profit percentage = (372 - 320) × 100 / 320 = 5200/320 = 16.25%

Answer 2

Answer:

16.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Adnan bought = 96 eggs

rate of eggs per dozen (12) = Rs.40

He sold eggs per rate = Rs.4

Rotten eggs = 3 eggs

SOLVING THE QUESTION :

96(eggs) x 40(rate of eggs) / 12(dozen)

= RS.320

WE KNOW THAT

96(eggs) - 3(rotten eggs)

= 93 (eggs)

NOW SOLVING

93(eggs) x 4(sell rate per egg)

= RS.372

NOW SEE THE PROFIT

372-320

= 52

52 x 100

= 5200

5200/320

= 16.25%  Hence proved
