Question

Women bought certain eggs.4% of eggs are bad.After selling 75%of remaining eggs she had left 96 eggs.What is the total no. Of eggs she bought.

Answer 1

Women bought certain eggs. = X eggs
4% of eggs are bad. = 4X / 100 = X / 25
Remaining eggs after taken out bad eggs =
X - X/ 25 = 24X/25
Sold 75%of remaining eggs = [(24X / 25) 3] / 4
= 72X / 100
she had left 96 eggs. = (24X / 25) - [(72X/100)]
= [(96X - 72X ) / 100 = 96
= 24X = 9600
= 6X = 2400
X = 400

Therefore, the total no. Of eggs she bought. = 400 eggs.
