Question

David bought 2 donzon of eggs worth 56 rs. since 6 of then broke he incurred a loss of 20 rs. how much one egg cost?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the selling price of 1 egg is Rs. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of eggs bought by David = 2 dozen

= 2*12

= 24 eggs

Eggs broken = 6

Eggs remained = 24 - 6

= 18 eggs

Loss incurred on selling the eggs = Rs. 20

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

20 = 56 - S.P.

S.P. = 56 - 20

S.P. = Rs. 36  

So, selling price of 18 eggs is Rs. 36

Selling Price of 1 egg = 36/18

= Rs. 2

So, the selling price of 1 egg is Rs. 2
