Dear student,
your method is not correct. This question can be solved as follows:
C.P. Of Each Egg = 32/12 = Rs 8/3
your method is not correct. This question can be solved as follows:
C.P. Of Each Egg = 32/12 = Rs 8/3
S.P. Of Each Egg = 10/3 = Rs 10/3
As S.P.> C.P. So, there is a profit.
Profit% = (Profit/C.P.) × 100
Profit = (10/3)-(8/3) = 2/3
C.P. = 8/3
Substitute Values
Profit% = {(2/3) /( 8/3)} ×100 = 25%.
