Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the first carton has 100 eggs, and therefore the second carton has 300 eggs. That makes a total of 400 eggs.

20% of the eggs in carton 1 = 20 eggs.

25% of the eggs in carton 2 =3 x 25 = 75 eggs.

So the total number of red eggs is 20 +75 = 95.

95 out of 400 = what out of 100?

Then 95/400 = (95÷4)/(400÷4) = 26.5/ 100.

So 26.5 % of the eggs will be red.
