Just think it through.
He bought 30 dozen, or 360 eggs
So the cost price was 1800/360 RS or Rs 5 per egg
But he can only sell 330 eggs.
According to the wording of the question, he wants to make a profit of 1 rupe per egg, but it doesn't say if that profit is based on the eggs bought. Since profit is usually based on cost price, ....
then he wants to make a profit of Rs 360 (1 per each egg he bought)
... or his income has to be 1800+360 = 2160
but he only sells 330 eggs, so the selling price must be
2160/330 or appr Rs 6.55
... based on my interpretation of the problem
Azeem bought 30 dozen eggs. Out of which 30 eggs were rotten. If he bought it for Rs 1800. What should be the selling price of each egg to get a profit of one rupe per egg.
Please explain it I can't get it
