Question

15% of eggs were rotten in the basket if the number of rotten egg in the basket was 48,find total number of eggs

Answer 1

15%of total =48

15/100*total=48

=total=48*100/15

=320

Total number of eggs was 320.

Answer 2

Let total number of eggs be n

No.of rotten eggs =15/100×n

By the problem no.of rotten eggs=48

So ,15/100×n=48
n=48/15×100=320

Therefore, Total no.of eggs=320
