Question

In a school egg drop challenge 136 of the eggs broke out of 200 total what percent of eggs survived the drop ?

Answer 1

I agree it only makes since

Answer 2

To make this equation easier, we can just divide the data by 2, so that the exact number of eggs that survived, is the percentage that survived.

Explanation:

200 = 200 Total Eggs

136 = 136 Eggs That Broke

So, the ratio of eggs that broke to total eggs is:

136 / 200

So, subtract the number of eggs that broke to the total eggs, to find the amount that survived.

200 - 136 = 64

So now we know that, 64 eggs of 200 survived.

Which means, that 32% off the eggs had survived.
