If eggs sell for $1.09 per dozen and the supermarket pays $8.00 per case consisting of 12 dozen cartons, how much profit does the supermarket make per case?

To determine the profit the supermarket makes per case, it's essential to first calculate the total revenue generated from selling the eggs and then subtract the cost of purchasing the eggs.

The supermarket sells eggs for $1.09 per dozen. Since one case consists of 12 dozen cartons, the revenue from selling one case can be calculated by multiplying the price per dozen by the number of dozens in a case:

Revenue from one case = $1.09/dozen × 12 dozen = $13.08.

Next, we need to subtract the cost that the supermarket incurs to purchase the case of eggs. The cost for the case is $8.00.

Now, we can calculate the profit:

Profit = Revenue - Cost Profit = $13.08 - $8.00 = $5.08.

Thus, the correct answer reflecting the profit per case is $5.08. This logical progression through calculations demonstrates how to arrive at the supermarket's profit for selling the eggs.
