Question

Amy had ₹100 to buy 20 eggs. But the cost of an egg was increased by ₹4. Estimate the number of eggs that she can buy?

• A. 10
• B. 13
• C. 16
• D. 20

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10

Cost of 20 eggs before the price hike = ₹100
Cost of 1 egg before the price hike = 100 ÷ 20 = ₹5
The price of an egg is increased by ₹4.
So, the present cost of 1 egg = 5 + 4 = ₹9
₹9 is estimated to be around ₹10.
So, for ₹100, around 10 eggs(₹100÷10) can be bought.
