2.A hawker bought 360 eggs which originally cost $0.5each at a discount of 20%. He threw away 40rotten eggs.Then he sold 250 eggs at a marked price of $0.6 each and the rest at a discount of 20% on the marked price.Find
(a)the total cost of the eggs,
Total cost of the eggs
= 360 * $0.5 * (1-20%)
= $360 * 0.5 * 80%
= $360 * 0.5 * 0.8
= $144
========================================================
(b)the total selling price,
Income of selling 250 eggs at $0.6
= 250 * $0.6
= $150
Income of selling the rest at discount of 20%
= (360 - 40 - 250) * $0.6 * (1-20%)
= $70 * 0.6 * 80%
= $70 * 0.6 * 0.8
= $33.6
Total income
= $150 + $33.6
= $183.6
========================================================
(c)the profit per cent
The profit percent
= ($183.6 - $144)/$144 * 100%
= 39.6/144 * 100%
= 27.5%
