Question

Maria is planning a feast for Easter. She purchases a crate of 400 eggs, but 96 of them are broken. Find the percentage of eggs remaining in the crate.

• A. 100%
• B. 50%
• C. 70%
• D. 76%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 76%

Total number of eggs in the crate = 400
Number of eggs that broke = 96
Number of eggs remaining = 400 – 96
= 304

Percentage = $\frac{Parts}{Whole}$ × 100
= $\frac{304}{400}$ × 100
= 76%
Therefore, percentage of eggs remaining in the crate = 76%
