You can put this solution on YOUR website! A trader purchased 10 dozen eggs at £300.00 per dozen.On getting to her shop,she found that 20 eggs were broken.How much did she sell the remaining eggs if she made a profit of 10%.
Number of eggs purchased: 10 dozens or 120, and amount paid = £300 per, or £3,000
A profit of 10% means that she must sell the remaining eggs for 1.1(3,000), or £3,300 <======= CORRECT ANSWER
This is also equivalent to selling the remaining 100 (120 - 20) eggs for  , or £33 each.
