Answer 1

Given :-

• The cost price of 30 eggs is equal to the sale price of 20 eggs.

To Find :-

• What is the percentage of profit?​

Solution :-

~Here,

→ Let the cost price of 1 egg be Rs. 1

Then,

→ Cost price of 30 eggs will be Rs. 30

According to the Question ,

→ CP of 30 eggs = SP of 20 eggs

→ SP of 20 eggs = Rs. 30

→ SP of 1 egg = 30/20 = Rs. 1.5

_____________

Now, we can easily find the profit percentage by putting the values in it's formula.

As we know that ,

★ Profit % = ( SP - CP ) / CP × 100

Finding the Profit % :-

⟶ Profit % = ( 1.5 - 1 )/1 × 100

⟶ Profit % = 0.5 × 100

⟶ Profit % = 50 %

_____________

Therefore ,
