Answer:

24 eggs

Explanation:

So since it is 50% less. That must mean it is half of that sense 50% is half. So 48x0.5=24

Hope this helps!

Answer:34

Step-by-step explanation:

Eggs expected to be use tomorrow is 48 - 30% of 48

30% of 48 = 30/100 × 48

= 0.3 × 48 =14.4

48 - 14.4 = 33.6

= 34 to the nearest whole number
