Answer 1

Given :-

CP of 40 eggs = 100

No of broken eggs = 8

Profit percentage = 8%

To Find :-

The SP of remaining eggs.

Solution :-

Remaining eggs = 40 - 8 = 32

CP of 40 eggs is 100

CP of 1 egg is 100/40

CP of 32 eggs =( 100 × 32 )/40 = 80

Therefore CP of 32 eggs is 80

Let the SP of 32 eggs be x

Profit = 8% of 80

$=\: {\dfrac{8 \times 80}{100}}$

= 6.4

Therefore, Profit = 6.4

SP = CP + Profit

= 32 + 6.4

= 38.4

Therefore, SP = 38.4
