Question

subhramaniam what bought hundred eggs for rupees 50 e out of these 4 eggswere found to be broken he sold the remaining eggs at the rate of rupees 8.50 per dozen find his gain or loss percent.​

Answer 1

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 = 688.5×8=68

Profit = SP - CP = 68-50 = 18

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

Profit % = 36\%36%

Hence his gain percentage is 36%

We Have,

C.P. of 100 eggs = Rs 50

It is given that 4x were found to be broken.

➡️The number of remaining eggs which was sold in the market$= 100 - 4 = 96.$It is given that the remaining eggs was sold at the rate of Rs 8.50 per dozen

➡️S.P. of 12 eggs=Rs 8.50

➡️S.P. of 1 egg = Rs$\frac{8.50}{12}$

➡️S.P. of 96 eggs = Rs$= ( \frac{8.50}{12} \times 96)$=Rs68

Clearly,S.P.$>$C.P. so there is gain given by

Gain=S.P.-C.P. =Rs 68 - Rs 50 = Rs 18

➡️ Gain Per cent

$= ( \frac{gain}{c.p.} \times 100)\% = ( \frac{18}{50} \times 100)\% = 36\%$
