b) 16%
c)42%
d)84%​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of egg in the basket = 50

No. of egg that broke = 8

So,

% = /100

⇒ 8/50 X 2

⇒ 16/100

⇒ 16%

Hope it helps..!!

Answer 2

Total number of eggs = 50

Number of eggs broken = 8

Number of eggs left intact = 50 - 8 = 42

Percentage of the intact eggs =

$\large{ \frac{ \sf{Number \: of \: eggs \: broken}}{ </p><p></p><p> \sf{Total \: number \: of \: eggs </p><p>} }} \times 100$

$\large\frac{42}{50} \times 100$

42 × 2 = 84%
