Show me please.
cost = 800(4) = 3200
you want to make a profit of 50%, so
income = 3200(1.5) = 4800
but you are only selling (100 - 25/4)% or 93.75% of them
So you are selling 750 eggs
selling price of each egg = 4800/750 = 6.4
you want to make a profit of 50%, so
income = 3200(1.5) = 4800
but you are only selling (100 - 25/4)% or 93.75% of them
So you are selling 750 eggs
selling price of each egg = 4800/750 = 6.4
It would help if you would proofread your work before you post it.
