Question

John bought 5 dozen of eggs at ₹60 per dozen. 5 eggs were found broken and were thrown out. At what price per egg should he sell the eggs so as to earn 10% profit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

he brought 5dozen eggs =12×5=60

5 eggs thrown remaining are =55

60 rupees per dozen

for five dozens =300 RS

profit=sp/cp×100

now cost price =300rs

sp/cp×100=10

sp/300×100=10

sp/3=10

sp=30rs

Answer 2

Answer:dozen eggs=60rs

12eggs=60rs

1egg=5rs

Total eggs cost=300

60eggs=300

If 5 are broken then 55 eggs are remaining

So,55eggs=300

If he want to sell and get 10% Profit he has to add 30 Rs extra for total amount

55eggs=330rs

1egg=6rs

So he has to sell each egg for 6rs to get 10% profit
