A basket contained 75 brown eggs and some white eggs. Salima found that 15% of the total number of eggs were rotten. Of the rotten eggs,2/3 were white and the remaining 6 were brown.
a) How many white eggs were there altogether?


b) How many eggs were not rotten?

If there are w white eggs, then there are a total of 75+w eggs.

rotten: .15(75+w)
1/3 of the rotten ones = 6
so,
.15(75+w) = 18
w = 45

not rotten: .85(75+45) = 102
