20% of the eggs at a stall are large, 25% of the remaining ones are medium and the rest are small. Small eggs cost 10 cents, Medium eggs cost 13 cents and large eggs cost 16 cents. If there are 800 eggs altogether, how much does the egg seller collect if he sells all the eggs?

Answer 1

First, we need to find out the number of large eggs at the stall. If 20% of the 800 eggs are large, there are:

0.2 x 800 = 160 large eggs

The remaining eggs are:

800 - 160 = 640

Out of the 640, 25% are medium, which means there are:

0.25 x 640 = 160 medium eggs

The rest are small eggs, which is:

640 - 160 = 480 small eggs

To find out how much the egg seller will collect, we need to multiply the number of each size of eggs by their respective prices and then add them up.

For large eggs:

160 x $0.16 = $25.60

For medium eggs:

160 x $0.13 = $20.80

For small eggs:

480 x $0.10 = $48.00

Therefore, the total amount the egg seller will collect if he sells all the eggs is:

$25.60 + $20.80 + $48.00 = $94.40
