Question

The selling price of 40 eggs is equal to the cost price of 60 eggs. Find the gain percent. *​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of 40 eggs = CP price of 60 eggs

Let CP of 1 egg = x

So

SP of 40 eggs = 60x

SP of 1 egg = 6x/4

Gain = SP - CP = 6x/4 - x = x/2

Gain % = gain/CP × 100

= 50 %

Answer 2

Given:

✰ The selling price of 40 eggs is equal to the cost price of 60 eggs.

To find:

✠ The gain percent.

Solution:

Let the selling price of 40 eggs be Rs 600.

➛ Selling price of 1 egg = 600/40 = Rs 15

➛ Cost price of 60 eggs = Rs 600

➛ Cost price of 1 egg = 600/60 = Rs 10

Now,

We have:

➛ Cost price = Rs 10

➛ Selling price = Rs 15

We know that:

When selling price is greater than the cost price then there is a gain.

⟶ Gain = Selling price - Cost price

⟶ Gain = 15 - 10

⟶ Gain = 5

Formula for gain percent is:

✭(100 × Gain)/CP✭

⟶ Gain percent = (100 × Gain)/CP

⟶ Gain percent = (100 × 5)/10

⟶ Gain percent = 500/10

⟶ Gain percent = 50%

∴ There is 50% of gain on selling the eggs.
