To Find:

Number of eggs that can be bought in 1 cent and a quarter.

Solution:

First, lets calculate how much is 1 cent and a quarter.

Since, 1 quarter = 25 cents.

Therefore, 1 cent and a quarter = 1 + 25 cents = 26 cents.

Now, we shall have to find the number of eggs that can be bought of 26 cents, but it is already given that 8 eggs can be purchased for 26 cents.

Thus,

Number of eggs that can be bought of 1 cent and a quarter = 8 eggs.
