Question

a dozen eggs cost $1.32 at the grocery store how much profit would a restaurant make if they sold 1 scrambled egg for 99 cents

Answer 1

Answer:

$10.56

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a dozen eggs cost $1.32 at the grocery store.

First of all, we will find cost of each egg by dividing total cost of eggs by 12 (a dozen).

$\text{Cost of each egg}=\frac{\ 1.32}{12}$

$\text{Cost of each egg}=\ 0.11$

Let us find difference of selling price of scrambled egg and cost of each egg as:

$\text{Profit per egg}=\ 0.99-\ 0.11$

$\text{Profit per egg}=\ 0.88$

To find total profit, we will multiply profit per egg by 12 as:

$\text{Total profit}=\ 0.88\times 12$

$\text{Total profit}=\ 10.56$

Therefore, the restaurant would make a profit of $10.56.

Answer 2

1.32/12=unit price of one egg=.11
.99-.11=.88
They would make an 88 cent profit.
