32% of eggs in a basket were bad.if 34 were good, how many were all the eggs?

Answer 1

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.
