total cp=12×9=108rs
broken egg=1/2
rest egg=12-1/2

Answered by priyabachala

given,
per dozen = 9 rupees
∴ 12 dozen= 108 rupees = CP
And one and half dozen were broken
∴ remaining eggs = 12-3/2=21/2 dozens
rest eggs sold at 12 rupees per dozen
∴ SP=(21/2)*12 =126
here SP is more than CP
∴ gain=SP-CP
=126-108
=18 rupees
and gain%=(gain/CP)*100
=(18/108)*100
=16%

Akhiruz: Answer not matching.... boss

heartking: your calculation not correct so calculate again priya

Akhiruz: Answer is 50 /3

heartking: ya boss i got answer

Akhiruz: 16.67%

priyabachala: even i also got the same answer

heartking: ok you both are good keep practising

Akhiruz: okk
