Question

A basket contains 350 eggs. If 12%of the eggs are rotten, how many eggs are good enough to sold

Answer 1

Heya...

Total eggs = 350
Percentage of eggs rotten = 12%
Number of eggs rotten= percentage/100*total
Number of eggs rotten = 12/100*350= 42eggs
Eggs good enough to sold= total eggs - rotten eggs
= 350-42= 308
So, 308 eggs are good enough to sold.

Answer 2

308 eggs are good enough to sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, total number of eggs = 350

Since 12% of the eggs are rotten, then the number of rotten eggs

= 12% of 350

= $\dfrac{12}{100}$ × 350

= 42

So, the number of good eggs

= total number of eggs - the number of rotten eggs

= 350 - 42

= 308

Another method:

Since 12% eggs are rotten, then (100 - 12)% = 88% eggs are good.

So, the number of good eggs

= 88% of 350

= $\dfrac{88}{100}$ × 350

= 308
