Question

The ratio of the sale of eggs on a Sunday to that of the whole week of a grocery shop was 2 : 9. If the total sale of eggs in the same week was Rs 360, find the sale of eggs on Sunday.

Answer 1

Ratio of the sale of eggs on Sunday to that of the whole week = 2 : 9

When total eggs of Rs. 9 is sold in a week, the sale of eggs on Sunday = Rs. 2

When total eggs of Rs. 1 sold in a week, th sale of eggs on Sunday = Rs. $\frac{2}{9}$

When total eggs of Rs. 360 sold in a week, the sale of eggs on Sunday = $\frac{2}{9}\times 360=2\times 40=\mathrm{Rs}.80$
