Answer:

Yes, she made a profit of $18

Explanation:

Let us discover that she made a profit or not

∵ She bought 6 dozen eggs

∵ Each dozen has 12 eggs

She bought = 12 × = 72 eggs

∵ The cost of each dozen is $15

∴ The cost of 6 dozen = 6 × 15 = 90

She bought 72 eggs for $90

∵ She kept 25% of the eggs for herself and sold the rest

→ That means she sold 100% - 25% = 75% of the eggs

∴ She sold 75% of the eggs

∵ 75% = 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75

∴ She sold = 0.75 × 72 = 54

She sold 54 eggs

∵ She sold each agg at $2

∴ The selling price = 54 × 2 = 108

She sold the rest of the eggs at $108

∵ The profit appears when the selling price is greater than the cost price

∵ The cost price = $90

∵ The selling price = $108

∵ $108 > $90

∴ Profit = 108 - 90 = $18

She made a profit of $18
