Answer 1

CP = 50
Broken eggs =4
Remaining eggs= 96
SP = (96÷12) × 8.5
= 8 x 8.5
= 68
Profit = SP -CP
= 68 - 50
Profit percentage =
$\frac{profit}{cp} \times 100$
$\frac{18}{50} \times 100$
$36\%$

Answer 2

Answer:

36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 100 eggs = Rs.50

4 eggs were found to be broken

So, total eggs sold = 96

12 eggs = 1 dozen

So, 96 eggs = 8 dozens

SP of 1 dozen = Rs.8.5

SP of 8 dozens = $8.5 \times 8 = 68$

Profit = SP - CP = 68-50 = 18

Profit % = $\frac{18}{50} \times 100$

Profit % = $36\%$

Hence  his gain percentage is 36%
