Question

Sudha bought 100 eggs for 50 out of there 4 eggs were found to be broken and he sold the remaining eggs at the rate of 8,50per dozen find his gain or loss per cent

Answer 1

AnSwer :

• Total eggs bought by the sudha is 100.
• Cost price (CP) of that 100 eggs is Rs. 50.
• Out of 100 eggs 4 eggs were found to be broken.
• Therefore, he sold the remaining eggs = 100 - 4 = 96.
• Selling price (SP) of 1 dozen eggs is Rs. 8.5

★ According to the Question Now :

→ 12 eggs = 1 dozen

→ 96 eggs = 96 ÷ 12

→ 96 eggs = 8 dozens

• Now, first of all we need to calculate the selling price of the 8 dozen eggs.

⇢SP of 1 dozen = Rs. 8.5 [Given]

⇢SP of 8 dozen = 8.5 × 8

⇢SP of 8 dozen = Rs. 68

• Hence,the selling price of 8 dozen eggs is Rs. 68.

Now, we have to find the Profit of these 8 dozen eggs :

⇒Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

⇒Profit = 68 - 50

⇒Profit = 18

Now, as per question we need to find the gain percentage of the eggs :

⇻Profit % = (Profit/Cost Price) × 100

⇻Profit % = (18/50) × 100

⇻Profit % = 18/5 × 10

⇻Profit % = 180/5

⇻Profit % = 36 %

• Hence,the gain percentage of the sudha is 36 %.

Answer 2

According to the question:

$\sf \implies \: 12 \: eggs = 1 \: dozen \\ \\ \sf \implies \: 96 \: eggs = 96 \div 12 \\ \\ \sf \implies \: 96 \: eggs = 8 \: dozens$

Now,we have to find Selling Price of the 8 dozens eggs

SP of 1 dozen = Rs. 8.5

SP of 8 dozens = 8.5 × 8

SP of 8 dozens = Rs. 68

Hence,the selling price of 8 dozen eggs is Rs.68.

Now,we have to find Profit.

$\sf \: profit = selling \: price - cost \: price \\ \\ \sf \: profit = 68 - 50 \\ \\ \sf profit = 18$

Now,we have to find Profit%

$\sf\fbox\red{Profit\:%={\dfrac{Profit}{Cost \:Price} ×100}}$

$\sf profit \: percent = \frac{18}{50} \times 100 \\ \sf \: profit \: percent = \frac{18}{5} \times 10 \\ \sf \: profit \: percent = \frac{80}{15} \\ \sf \: profit \: percent = 36 \:$

Hence,the Profit% of the Sudha is 36 %.
