A man purchased eggs at the rate of Rs 48 per tray of 30 eggs . At what rate per hundred should he sell the eggs to gain 15%

the unit price per egg is 48/30. Add 15% profit and multiply by 100:

(48/30)*1.15*100 = Rs 184

To find the rate at which the man should sell the eggs to gain 15%, we need to determine the cost price of one egg, calculate the selling price per hundred eggs, and then add 15% to the cost price.

Let's break down the steps to find the cost price of one egg:

1. The man purchased eggs at the rate of Rs 48 per tray of 30 eggs.
2. Therefore, the cost of one egg will be (48 / 30) = Rs 1.6 per egg.

Now, let's find the selling price per hundred eggs:

1. We know that the selling price per hundred eggs will include the cost price plus the desired profit (15% of the cost price).
2. The desired profit is 15% of Rs 1.6, which is (0.15 * 1.6) = Rs 0.24.
3. So, the selling price of one egg will be (1.6 + 0.24) = Rs 1.84.
4. Therefore, the selling price per hundred eggs will be (1.84 * 100) = Rs 184.

Hence, the man should sell the eggs at the rate of Rs 184 per hundred to gain a 15% profit.
