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.
