Question

30% of eggs in a basket were found to be broken. If there were 350 good ones, find the total numbers of eggs in a basket ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total numbers of eggs in a basket = a

In that, broken = 30% of a = 3a / 10

good ones = 350

=> a = 3a/10 + 350 => a - 350 = 3a / 10

=> 10a - 3500 = 3a

=> 10a - 3a = 3500

=> 7a = 3500

=> a = 3500 / 7 = 500

.•. total numbers of eggs in a basket = 500
