A market woman bought 30eggs for 700,if 4 eggs were broken and she sold the rest at 25, each.How much did she gain

For the question please explain and show working

Please explain, open working sir

To find out how much the market woman gained, we need to calculate the total cost and the total sales.

First, let's calculate the cost of the 30 eggs she bought. We are given that the 30 eggs were bought for #700.

Cost of each egg = Total cost / Number of eggs
Cost of each egg = #700 / 30 eggs
Cost of each egg = #23.33 (approximately)

Next, we need to calculate the cost of the four broken eggs. Since we know that four eggs were broken, we can multiply the cost of each egg by four.

Cost of broken eggs = Cost of each egg * Number of broken eggs
Cost of broken eggs = #23.33 * 4
Cost of broken eggs = #93.32

Now let's calculate the total sales. We know that she sold the remaining eggs at #25 each, and four eggs were already broken and not sold.

Remaining eggs to be sold = Number of eggs bought - Number of broken eggs
Remaining eggs to be sold = 30 eggs - 4 eggs
Remaining eggs to be sold = 26 eggs

Total sales = Remaining eggs to be sold * Price per egg
Total sales = 26 eggs * #25
Total sales = #650

To find the gain, we subtract the cost of broken eggs from the total sales.

Gain = Total sales - Cost of broken eggs
Gain = #650 - #93.32
Gain = #556.68

Therefore, the market woman gained #556.68.

The answer is 18.5.
