Question 1. David bought 2 dozen eggs for Rs. 260 since 6 of them broke he incurred a loss of Rs. 80 on selling them, what was the S.P of 1 egg?
Answer:
2 dozen eggs = \(2 \times 12 = 24\) eggs.
Cost Price (\text{C.P}) = Rs. 260
Loss = Rs. 80
Selling Price of remaining eggs (\text{S.P}) = \(\text{C.P} - \text{Loss} = 260 - 80 = \text{Rs. } 180\)
Number of unbroken eggs sold = \(24 - 6 = 18\) eggs.
Selling price of 1 egg = \(\frac{180}{18} = \text{Rs. } 10\)
In simple words: Find the total selling price by subtracting the loss from the cost price, then divide by the number of unbroken eggs.

Exam Tip: Remember that 1 dozen equals 12 items, so 2 dozen is 24 items.
