Question

The cost of one dozen eggs is ₹ 48. A man bought eggs worth ₹ 36. What percentage of a dozen did he buy?

• A. 45%
• B. 65%
• C. 75%
• D. 80%

Answer 1

The correct option is C

75%

Cost of 12 eggs = ₹ 48 $\Rightarrow$ Cost of 1 egg = Rs. $\frac{48}{12}$ = ₹ 4 $\therefore$ Number of eggs that can be bought for ₹ 36 = $\frac{36}{4}$ = 9 $\therefore$ Percentage of a dozen = $\frac{9}{12}\times 100$ = 75%
