Let the total number of eggs be \( x \).
If 32% of the eggs were bad, then 68% of the eggs were good (since \( 100\% - 32\% = 68\% \)).
The number of good eggs can be expressed as:
\[
0.68x = 34
\]
To find \( x \), we can solve the equation:
\[
x = \frac{34}{0.68}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
x = 50
\]
Therefore, the total number of eggs in the basket is **50**.
