Question

by selling 8dozen eggs, a man makes a profit equal to the selling price of 3 dozen eggs. Find his gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

60%

Step by step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 dozen eggs be x

Therefore, Selling Price (SP)=8x

&Profit(p)=3xC

According to Question,

CP+p=SP

CP+3x=8x

CP=8x-3x

CP=5x

Now , Cost Price=5x & Profit =3x

Profit Percent = (Profit/Cost Price) ×100

p%=(p/CP)×100

p%=(3x/5x)×100

p%=(3/5)×100 [x/x=1]

p%=300/5

p%=60%
