Raghav bpught 100 eggs for Rs 61.put of them 12 eggs were found broken .he sold the remaining eggs at such a price that he got a gain of Rs 5. find the selling price of an egg.

Answer 1

Hello,
we calculate the purchase cost of only one egg:
61:100=0.61 rs
we calculate the number of eggs to sell:
100-12=88 eggs
we calculate the cost of selling eggs:
(0.61×88)+5=53.63+5=58.63 rs
we calculate the selling price of an egg:
58.63:88=0.67 rs


Bye :-)

Answer 2

Total eggs = 100

C. P ( cost price) of 100 eggs = 61

12 eggs were rotten so Unrotten eggs = 100 - 12 = 88 .

He sold remaining eggs at rs. 5 profit which means he sold 88 eggs for rs. 61+5= 66.

so total eggs = 88 and C. P of 88 eggs = 66 .

So, C.P of each remaining egg = C.P of all remaining eggs ÷ total no. of remaining eggs Which means 66÷88= •75 ans..
