Solution

Let the number of bad eggs $= x$
Given the probability of bad eggs $= 0.035$
Total no. of eggs $= 400.$

As, we know that,
probability = $\frac{N o . o f f a v o u r a b l e o u t c o m e s}{T o t a l n o . o f o u t c o m e s}$

$\Rightarrow 0.035 = \frac{x}{400}$
$\Rightarrow x = 14$

$∴$ Total no. of bad eggs $= 14.$
