A reduction in 25% in the price of eggs will enable one to buy 4 dozen more eggs for rs 96. what is the price per dozen?

• let price of eggs per dozen =x rs then
  A/Q
  96/(x-.25x)- 96/x = 4
  => 96/x *[1/.75 - 1]=4
  => x= 24*[4/3 -1]=8
  ans: rs 8 per dozen

• first of all..... 25% of 96= 24
  by this 24 he can buy 4 dozen eggs
  so reduced prices are 6 per dozen
  this 6 is 75 % of original
  75= 6;
  1 = 6/75
  100 = (6/75) * 100 = 8
  Rs 8 per dozen

• 25% of reduction means 96*25/100=24 in 24 rupess we get 4 dozen egg.
  hence price of 1 dozen is 6 rs now in 72 we wet 12 dozen egg.
  if 12 dozen egg price is 96 then one dozen is 8rs..

• since price is reduce by 25% then consumption has to be increased by 33.33%
  so 33.33% of total eggs=4 => total eggs =12
  original price=96/12= Rs.8 per dozen

• ans = 8 rs
  let no of X dozen is buy Y rs per dozen in 96 Rs
  so XY= 96
  when price is reduce then
  (X+4)(Y - 25/100Y) = 96
  (X+4)3/4Y=96
  3/4XY +3Y =96 =XY
  3Y=XY -3/4XY = 1/4XY
  3Y=1/4XY
  X=12
  and Y =8 which is price of egg +

• Let the price per dozen be Rs x
  & he bought y dozen of eggs
  then
  1st case: x*y =96------------(1)
  2nd case(after reducing price by 25%):
  x-(x/4)=(3x/4)
  so, (3x/4)*(y+4) = 96
  =>3xy+12x =(96*4)
  =>3*96 + 12x = 96*4 (frm (1))
  =>x=96/12
  =>x=8
  So ans is price per dozen is Rs 8.

• Let price of egg is Rs x per Dozen
  so 96/x+4=96/.75x
  =>96+4x=4*96/3
  =>12x=96
  =>x=8
  ANS. RS 8

• A hike /reduction x% a person to buy y kg less/more for Z rupee .
  
  new price (both case) = xz/100*y
  
  original price(if price hike) = xz /(100+x)*y and original price(in reduction) = xz/(100-x)*y
  
  
  now comes to question
  in ..reduction .
  ..we should to find original price in redustion = 25*96/(100-25)*4
  =25*96/75*4
  =96/12
  =8 ans ......

• let price of egg per dozen=x
  and he takes y dozen
  now
  x.y=96
  
  after reduction of 25% in price
  (x-x*25/100)(y+4)=96
  x=8;

• Price (P) Qnty. (Q) Expenditure(E)
  P Q 96
  (3/4)P Q+48 96
  E=K.PQ
  when E=const. ,
  Q=k1/P
  so,reduction of 25% in price results increase of 33.33% in Quantity.Now,
  Q+48=4/3*Q
  (1/4)Q=48=>Q=144
  price of 144 eggs is 96
  therefore,price of 12 eggs=(96/144)*12
  =Rs.8

• 61%
  
  5% were in favour of all
  Let x% be in favour of A and B
  y% be in favour of B and C
  z % be in favour of A and C
  
  => 78 +5 - (x + y + z) = (50+5-x-z) + (30+5-x-y) + (20+5-y-z)
  => (x + y + z) = 32%
  
  => (78 - (x+y+z)+5) = 51%

• Let the price of x dozen = 96 Rs
  Price of 1 dozen = 96/x
  After 25% reduction, 4 more dozen will get at Rs 96
  So, price of (x+4) dozen = 96 Rs
  Therefore, Price of 1 dozen = 96/(x+4)
  Now, according to question
  (96/x) = (96/(x+4)) + .25*(96/x)
  After solving, We get x=12
  Therefore, price of 1 dozen = (96/12)=8 Rs

• let the cost of eggs be x , let the dozens be y
  cost of eggs * dozens = 96
  i.e., x*y = 96
  after reducing the cost of eggs and increasing the dozens equ: beomes
  (x-x*(25/100))(y+4) = 96
  after solving the above equ we get
  3x = 24
  x = 8
  so ans is 8
