Calculate Cost Price Per Egg
The shopkeeper purchased eggs at $₹ 19.20$ per dozen. Since there are 12 eggs in a dozen, the cost price (CP) for one egg is calculated as:
$ CP_{egg} = \frac{CP_{dozen}}{12} = \frac{₹ 19.20}{12} = ₹ 1.60 $
Determine Selling Price Per Egg
The eggs were sold at a profit of $25\%$. The selling price (SP) is calculated using the formula:
$ SP = CP \times \left(1 + \frac{Profit\%}{100}\right) $
Applying this to the cost price per egg:
$ SP_{egg} = ₹ 1.60 \times \left(1 + \frac{25}{100}\right) $
$ SP_{egg} = ₹ 1.60 \times (1 + 0.25) $
$ SP_{egg} = ₹ 1.60 \times 1.25 $
$ SP_{egg} = ₹ 2.00 $
Final Selling Price
The selling price per egg is $₹ 2.00$.
