Question

there are 500 eggs in a box. 3/25 got broken and 1/5 kept for guests. how many eggs can be used

Answer 1

Total Eggs are 500
3/25 broken that means 60 broken
1/5 kept for guests which means 100 eggs
60 plus 100 gives us 160 eggs
So 160 taken out of 500 gives us 340 eggs

Answer 2

Answer:

340 eggs an be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given there are 500 eggs in a box out of which

$\frac{3}{25}$ got broken and

$\frac{1}{5}$ kept for guests.

we have to find that how many eggs are used.

$\text{Broken eggs=}\frac{3}{25}\times 500=60 eggs$

$\text{Kept for guests=}\frac{1}{5}\times 500=100 eggs$

Total eggs which are left can be used

=500-60-100=340 eggs.
