Question

Subbu bought 100 eggs for Rs.50. Out of these, 4 eggs were

found out to be broken. He sold the remaining eggs at the

rate of Rs.8.50 per dozen. Find his gain or loss percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Subbu bought 100 eggs for Rs 50

Cost Price (C.P.) of 100 eggs = Rs 50

Find the number of remaining eggs :

Remaining eggs = Total eggs - broken eggs

= (100 - 4) eggs = 96 eggs

[1 Dozen = 12 Units ]

Find the dozens of eggs :

We know that 1 dozen eggs is equal to 12 eggs.

So, 12 eggs = 1 dozen eggs

96 eggs = 96/12 = 8 dozen eggs

Find the S.P. of 8 dozen eggs :-

Selling price (S.P.) of 1 dozens eggs is Rs 8.50

So,

1 dozen = Rs 8.50

8 dozens = Rs (8.50 x 8) = Rs 68

Now,

We have,

S.P. = Rs 68

C.P. = Rs 50

S.P. > C.P

Therefore, Profit

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

= Rs ( 68 - 50) = Rs 18

Profit % = (Profit x 100)/C.P.%

= (18 x 100)/50 %

= 1800/50 % = 36 %

Hence,

His gain percent is 36%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

bought 100 egges for 50

sold 96 eggs for 8.50 per dozen

96 means 8 dozen

Selling price = 8.50×8 = 68

Percentage = 18/50×100 = 36

He got profit of 36%
