Question

There are 36 eggs in a crate if 24 are fried what percentage is left

Answer 1

33.33%

Explanation:

You start with 36 eggs, and 24 are removed and fried. This means that the remaining eggs are the difference of 36 and 24:

36 - 24 = 12

There are 12 eggs left! To find the percentage of remaining eggs, write a ratio comparing the number of eggs that remain to the original amount of eggs:

`(12)/(36)`

Now, simplify the fraction into a decimal:

12 ÷ 36 = 0.3333...

Multiply a decimal by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

0.3333... ⋅ 100 = 33.33...%

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the percent of remaining eggs is 33.33%
