Question

19) Two of the dozen eggs in a carton are cracked. About what percent of the carton is not cracked? (Round to the nearest whole percent) *​

Answer 1

`83%`%

Explanation:

We have that
`2/12=1/6` of the eggs are cracked, so
`1-1/6=5/6` of the eggs are not cracked.

Recall that
`1/6=0.1666666666...`. This means that
`5/6=1-1/6=1-0.166666666...=0.833333333...`.

Rounding this to the nearest whole percent gives
`83%`%.
