let the total number of egg =X

ATQ

30% of x=72

x=72*100/30=240

so he bought 240 eggs

Answer 2

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

since rotten eggs are 72 in number which is 30% out of total eggs.

lets assume 100% is total eggs

30%= 72

30%= 72100%=?

By cross multiplication method,

? * (30/100) = 72 * (100/100)

? = 72 * (100/30)

? = 240

so total eggs are 240
