Hello~ 100 I sell chicken eggs for a living. One day, I went to the market to buy a tray of eggs. The tray contains 30 eggs. I paid 210 pesos for it. I went back to my store to sell them. After a day, I had sold 2 dozens of eggs. If I added 1 peso for the cost of each egg, how much is my profit for the eggs I sold? How much will I gain if I sold all the eggs?
I'll give 28 points for your honest effort. Thank you for giving your best.

Hello! Let's solve this problem step by step:
Cost of eggs per piece:
Since there are 30 eggs in a tray and you paid 210 pesos for the tray, the cost of each egg is 210/30 = 7 pesos.
Selling price per piece:
Since you added 1 peso for the cost of each egg, the selling price per egg is 7 + 1 = 8 pesos.
Profit for the 2 dozens of eggs sold:
Two dozens of eggs is equal to 24 eggs. Therefore, your profit for the 24 eggs you sold is (8 - 7) x 24 = 24 pesos.
Total profit if you sold all the eggs:
Since there are 30 eggs in a tray, the total number of eggs you have is 30. Therefore, your total profit if you sold all the eggs is (8 - 7) x 30 = 30 pesos.
So, your profit for the eggs you sold is 24 pesos, and your total profit if you sold all the eggs is 30 pesos.
