Answer:
60%
Explanation:
First, find the total number of eggs bought.
Add together what Jacob bought and what William bought.
Jacob bought 30 eggs and William bought 20 eggs
30+20
50
Next, find the percentage that Jacob bought.
Divide the part by the whole, or what Jacob bought by the total number of eggs bought.
part/whole
jacob's eggs/total eggs
Jacob bought 30 eggs and the total was 50 eggs
30/50
0.6
Convert 0.6 to a percent by multiplying by 100 or moving the decimal place two spots to the right
0.6*100=60
0.6--> 6.0--> 60.
So, Jacob bought 60% of the total number of eggs
