Question 622212
I can pick any price at which the man
bought the eggs. I will say he paid $1
each for them, or $100 for 100 eggs.
------------
So, he paid $80 for 80 eggs. If he sold
them at 30% profit, {{{ .3*80 = 24 }}}
He sold them for {{{ 80 + 24 = 104 }}} dollars
------------
He bought the remainder, 20 eggs for
$20. If he lost 40%, he lost {{{ .4*20 = 8}}}
So, he sold them for {{{ 20 - 8 = 12 }}} dollars
------------
So, he received {{{ 104 + 12 = 116 }}} dollars
{{{ 116/100 = 1.16 }}}
His percentage gain was {{{ .16*100 }}} = 16%
