Question

From a basket of full of eggs 20% of eggs broke and 25% of eggs are reserved for the guest the remaining 22 eggs are consumed by the family members how many eggs were in the basket how many broke and how many were kept for the guest

Answer 1

$\sf\underline{Step-by-step \: explanation}$

Eggs were broken = 20 %

Reserved for guests = 25 %

Eggs consumed by the family = 55 % [20 % + 25 % = 45 %, 100 - 45% = 55 %]

If 55 % of the eggs were, 22 then the 100 % will be,

Setting up an equation,

$\frac{55}{100} \: \times \: x \: = \: 22$

$\frac{55}{100}x \: = \: 22$

Solving it,

22(100) = 55x

2200 = 55x

40 =x

Hence, the total number of eggs were,

40

As per the question, 20 % of the eggs were broken.

To find out how many were broken, it is essential to find out 20 % of the 40 eggs.

20 % of 40 eggs,

$\frac{20}{100} \: \times \: 40$

After Cancellation...

8 eggs

Number of broken eggs = 8

Number of eggs saved for the guests = 25 %

Setting up an equation...

$\frac{25}{100} \times 40$

After Cancellation...

10 eggs.

Hence; 10 eggs were saved for the guests.

Answers :

Total = 40 eggs

Broken = 8 eggs

For guests = 10 eggs
