Question

An eggseller bought some eggs at the rate of 15 for rupees 10 . How many should he sell for rupees 5 so as to gain rupees 25%

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of 10 eggs =Rs 5

Let CP be x

SP =CP + profit

5=x+20%of x

5=6x/5

x=25/6

In 25/6 he buy =10 eggs

In Rs 1 he buy=10*6/25

From Rs 5 he buy=10*6*5/25=12 eggs
