First, let's calculate the total cost of the tray of eggs: Mary bought the tray of eggs for R110.
She sold half of the eggs at R65, which means she sold 30 eggs for R65 each, totaling: 30 eggs * R65 = R1950
She sold the remaining 30 eggs at R60 each, totaling: 30 eggs * R60 = R1800
The total revenue from selling all 60 eggs is: R1950 + R1800 = R3750
Now, let's calculate the profit made from selling all 60 eggs: Total revenue - Total cost = Profit R3750 - R110 = R3640
Finally, let's calculate the average profit per egg: Average profit per egg = Total profit / Total number of eggs R3640 / 60 eggs = R60.67
Therefore, the average profit per egg made from the sale of 60 eggs is R60.67.
