Question

a dozen eggs cost $1.32 at the grocery store how much profit would a restaurant make if they sold 1 scrambled egg for 99 cents

Answer 1

1.32/12=unit price of one egg=.11
.99-.11=.88
They would make an 88 cent profit.

Answer 2

$10.56

Explanation:

We have been given that a dozen eggs cost $1.32 at the grocery store.

First of all, we will find cost of each egg by dividing total cost of eggs by 12 (a dozen).

`\text{Cost of each egg}=(\$1.32)/(12)`

`\text{Cost of each egg}=\$0.11`

Let us find difference of selling price of scrambled egg and cost of each egg as:

`\text{Profit per egg}=\$0.99-\$0.11`

`\text{Profit per egg}=\$0.88`

To find total profit, we will multiply profit per egg by 12 as:

`\text{Total profit}=\$0.88* 12`

`\text{Total profit}=\$10.56`

Therefore, the restaurant would make a profit of $10.56.
