Mr babatunde bought 5 dozens of eggs out of which 24 eggs were broken.what percentage of the eggs were broken

Answer 1

To find the percentage of broken eggs, we need to calculate the proportion of broken eggs out of the total number of eggs.
5 dozens of eggs is equivalent to 5 x 12 = <<5*12=60>>60 eggs.
So, out of 60 eggs, 24 were broken.
To find the percentage, we divide the number of broken eggs by the total number of eggs and then multiply by 100.
Percentage of broken eggs = (24/60) x 100 = 40%
Therefore, 40% of the eggs were broken.
