Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of eggs bought by David = 2 dozen = eggs = 2 x 12 eggs.

Total cost for 2 dozens of eggs = Rs. 56 =

No. of eggs that broke = 6 eggs.

The loss incurred due to the breaking of 6 eggs = Rs. 20

The remaining number of eggs = 24 - 6 = =

18 eggs.

So, if Rs. 20 was the loss, then the cost of the remaining 18 eggs should be = Rs. 56

- Rs. 20 = Rs. 36.

So, cost of 18 eggs = Rs. 36.

Therefore, cost of 1 egg will be = 36/18 = 2

So, the selling price of one egg should be

= Rs. 2/-...
