Question

eggs are brought at 24 a dozen. At what price per hundred should they be sold, so as to a gain 12 per cent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a dozen (12) eggs = 24

Cost of one egg=2

Cost of eggs per hundred=2×100=200

ATQ,

He wants to earn a profit% of 12%

So,

Profit =(12/100)×200

= 24

SP=224

The price at which the eggs must be sold to gain a profit of 12%=224-200=20
