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
= 6.4
Therefore, Profit = 6.4
SP = CP + Profit
= 32 + 6.4
= 38.4
Therefore, SP = 38.4
