Answer 2

Answer:

profit of 29.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it is never mentioned how many eggs does the man purchase or sell. Thus we need to calculate the loss/gain percent on the sale of a single egg.

CP of 1 dozen(12 eggs)= 65

CP of 1 egg= 65/12 = 5.42

SP of 1 egg= 7

SP>CP, there the man has gained a profit

Profit= SP-CP = 7 - 5.42 =1.58

Profit %= profit/cp*100 = 1.58/5.42*100= 29.15

Thus profit %= 29.15%
