Question

David bought 2 dozen eggs for Rs.56. Since 6 of them broke, he incurred a loss of Rs. 20 on selling them. What was the selling price of one egg?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{According\:to\:the\:Question}}}$

$\textbf{\underline{Total\;number\;of\;bought\;egg}}$

= 2 dozen

Therefore

= 2 × 12

= 24 eggs

Now,

Situation

$\textbf{\underline{Broken\;Eggs=6}}$

Rest Eggs

= 24 - 6

= 18 eggs

$\textbf{\underline{Loss\;incurred}}$

= Rs. 20

We know that :-

${\boxed{\sf\:{Loss=Cost\;Price-Selling\;Price}}}$

20 = 56 - Selling Price

SP = 56 - 20

SP = Rs. 36

Therefore,

$\textbf{\underline{SP\;of\;18\;Eggs}}$

= Rs. 36

$\textbf{\underline{SP\;of\;One\;Egg}}$

$\tt{\rightarrow\dfrac{36}{18}}$

= Rs. 2

Therefore,

$\Large{\boxed{\sf\:{Selling\;Price\;of\;one\;egg=2}}}$
