If a shopkeeper buys eggs at Tk. 25 per quad (hali) and sells at Tk. 56 per 2 quads, how much profit percentage will he make?

Question: If a shopkeeper buys eggs at Tk. 25 per quad (hali) and sells at Tk. 56 per 2 quads, how much profit percentage will he make?

Solution: The cost price of 1 quad of eggs = Tk. 25
The cost price of 2 quads of eggs = Tk. 25 x 2 = Tk. 50

Again, the selling price of 2 quads of eggs = Tk. 56
Since the selling price is more than the cost price, there will be a profit.

Here, Profit = Tk. (56-50) = Tk. 6
In Tk. 50, profit is = Tk. 6
In Tk 1 profit is = 6/50 Tk
In Tk 100 profit is = (6 ×100)/ 50= 12 Tk
∴ profit is 12%.
