Answer 2

The number of goods remaining is 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of eggs in the basket, n = 480.

The woman sold 1/6 of the eggs.

Remaining eggs = $480\times(1-\frac{1}{6})=480\times \frac{5}{6}=400$

Now of the remaining 400 eggs 3/8 were bad.

Number of good eggs in the remaining batch is:

$Good\ eggs=400\times (1-\frac{3}{8})=400\times \frac{5}{8}=250$

Thus, the number of goods remaining is 250.
