Question

There are 30 eggs in a garage in five of them are broken what percent is broken what percent is not broken

Answer 1

Broken =16.67%

Not broken=83.33%

Explanation:

In terms of percentage the total amount of eggs =100%

ie 30=100%

Amount of eggs broken=5

Amount of eggs not broken=30-5

Eggs broken

Using proportion

30=more

5=less

to find for percentage of eggs broken ie 5

first let x represent eggs broken

If less more divide×100%

and 5 is less than 30

x=5/30×100%

simplify

x=1/6×100%

x= 16.66%or16.67%

Eggs not broken

Eggs not broken=30-5

=25

Using proportion again

25=less

30=more

if less more divide

x=25/30×100%

simplify

x=2500%/30

x= 83.33%
