Correct option is A
Given:
Total eggs = 50 dozen
Cost price per dozen = 40
Broken eggs = 40
Target profit = 5%
Formula Used:
Total CP = Quantity × Rate
SP = CP ×
Solution:
Total cost price = 50 × 40 = 2000
Total eggs bought = 50 × 12 = 600
Remaining eggs = 600 - 40 = 560
Remaining eggs in dozens =
Target selling price = 2000 ×
Target selling price = 2000 × = 2100
Selling price per dozen =
Selling price per dozen =
Selling price per dozen = 15 × 3 = 45
Final Answer
