Farmer brown, also known as "the egg man" buys a bunch of fast-egg-laying chickens. He figures once they lay a total of 250 eggs he will have earned enough money to pay the chickens.

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: 16% of eggs are left to be laid

Solving our equation for P
P% = Y/X
P% = 210/250
p = 0.84

Convert decimal to percent:
P% = 0.84 * 100 = 84%

100-84=16
