Question

The cost of 2 ½ dozen eggs is Rs 60 . Find the cost of 1 egg.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1 dozen = 12 eggs

In 2 ½ dozen = 12 + 12 + 6 = 30 eggs

Now cost of 1 egg =

$\frac{60}{30} = \frac{2}{1}$

Therefore, cost of 1 egg is ₹ 2.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 dozen=24 eggs

1/2 dozen=6 eggs

So in total we have 30 eggs

cost of 30 eggs =60

this can also be written as

30× cost of 1 egg=60

cost of 1 egg =60/30

cost of 1 egg =2

Hence,the cost of one egg is Rs.2
