Three dozen eggs, 25% broken. How many left? ( Answer with working outs) please.
what is 75% of 36 ?
39
To find the number of eggs left after 25% of three dozen eggs are broken, let's break down the problem into steps:
Step 1: Determine the number of eggs in three dozen.
Three dozen means 3 times 12, which equals 36 eggs.
Step 2: Calculate the number of eggs that are broken.
We are given that 25% of the eggs are broken. To find this, we multiply 36 (total number of eggs) by 25% (or 0.25, since 25% is equivalent to 0.25):
36 * 0.25 = 9
Step 3: Subtract the number of broken eggs from the total number of eggs.
To find the number of eggs left, we subtract the number of broken eggs (9) from the total number of eggs (36):
36 - 9 = 27
Therefore, after 25% of three dozen eggs are broken, there will be 27 eggs left.
