Question

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

Answer 1

Let us consider the total number of eggs to be x. now  we know that 30% of the eggs are broken.

Therefore, it is evident  that only 70% of the eggs are good.

Hence, we get that 70%*x = 350  

Or, 70x/100 = 350

Or, 70x = 350*100  

Or, x = 350*100 / 70  

Or, x = 500  

Therefore, total number of eggs is 500.
