Question

Altaf purchase 5 dozen eggs rete of rupees 11 per dozen. 5 eggs were found broken in them. find the selling price of one egg, if he incurred a loss of rupees 5 after selling the remaining eggs​

Answer 1

Answer:

SP = Rs.2.31 per egg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total eggs purchased = 5 dozen = 5*12 = 60

5 eggs were broken => No. of eggs to be sold = 55

Rate of purchase of eggs = Rs.11 per dozen

=> Total cost price (CP) in Rupees = 11*12 = 132

Overall loss in Rupees = 5

=> Total CP - Total SP = 5

=> 132 - Total SP = 5

=> Total SP = 127

Thus, Altaf sold 55 eggs for a total value of Rs.127

=> SP of 1 egg = 127/55 = 2.31

The selling price of one egg = Rs.2.31 (approx)
