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%.
