Question

There are $160$eggs in a tray. $15\%$ of the eggs broke. How many good eggs are there in the tray?

Answer 1

Step 1: Finding the broken eggs equivalent to $15\%$.

Total eggs in tray $=160$

Percentage of broken eggs $=15\%$

Therefore, the number of broken eggs is,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 15\%of160 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{15}{100}\times 160=\frac{15\times 16\cancel{0}}{10\cancel{0}} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{15\times 16}{10}=\frac{24\cancel{0}}{1\cancel{0}}=24 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the number of broken eggs is $24$.

Step 2: Finding the number of good eggs in the tray.

Out of total $160$eggs, $24$eggs are broken.

Therefore, the rest will be good eggs, i.e.,

$\Rightarrow 160-24=136$

Hence, the number of good eggs in the tray is $136$.
