Question

A box contains $60$ eggs. Out of which $16\frac{2}{3}\%$ are rotten ones. Find how many eggs are rotten.

Answer 1

Total eggs $=60$

According to the question,

Rotten eggs $=16\frac{2}{3}\%\times 60$

$=\frac{50}{3}\%\times 60$

$=\frac{50}{3}\times \frac{1}{100}\times 60$

$=\frac{50}{3\times 100}\times 60$

$=\frac{1}{3\times 2}\times 60$

$=\frac{1}{6}\times 60$

$=10$

Hence, this is the answer.
