Question

Sarita bought eggs at $Rs.8.40$ a dozen. At what price per hundred must she sell them so as to earn a profit of $15\%$

Answer 1

CP of $12$ eggs $=Rs.8.40$

CP of $1$ egg $=Rs.8.40÷12=Rs.0.7$

Therefore, CP of $100$ eggs $0.7\times 100=Rs.70$

SP of $100$ eggs $=\frac{100+Profit\%}{100}\times CP$

$=\frac{115}{100}\times 70$

$=Rs.80.5$
