Answer:

The gain percent is 46%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ram bought 1600 eggs at rs 3.75 per dozen. he sold 900 of them at 2 the remaining at 5 for rs 2.

To find : His gain percentage ?

Solution :

The cost price of 12 eggs is Rs.375.

The cost price of 1600 eggs is $\frac{375\times 1600}{12}=500$

The cost price of 1600 eggs is Rs.500.

The selling price of 900 eggs is $\frac{1}{2}\times 900=450$

Selling price of remaining 700 eggs is $\frac{2}{5}\times 700=280$

Total selling price is $SP=450+280=730$

Gain = SP-CP

Gain = 730-500

Gain = Rs.230

Gain percent is given by,

$G\%=\frac{G}{CP}\times 100$

$G\%=\frac{230}{500}\times 100$

$G\%=46\%$

The gain percent is 46%.
