Question

we a man buys eggs at Ghana 4.50per crate of 30 eggs. He finds that 2-% of eggs are broken but sales at Ghana 3.00a dozen. Find its percentage profit to the nearest whole number​

Answer 1

Answer: the percentage profit to the nearest whole number is 67%.

Explanation:

The cost of one crate of 30 eggs is 4.50 Ghanaian cedis.

- Therefore, the cost of one egg is 4.50 / 30 = 0.15 Ghanaian cedis.

Now let's calculate the revenue from selling one egg:

- The price of one dozen (12) eggs is 3.00 Ghanaian cedis.

- Therefore, the price of one egg is 3.00 / 12 = 0.25 Ghanaian cedis.

We know that 25% of the eggs are broken, so only 75% of the eggs can be sold. Therefore, the profit per egg is:

0.25 - 0.15 = 0.10 Ghanaian cedis

The percentage profit can be calculated as follows:

Profit percentage = (Profit per egg / Cost per egg) x 100%

Profit percentage = (0.10 / 0.15) x 100%

Profit percentage = 66.67%

Therefore, the percentage profit to the nearest whole number is 67%.
