+60 Benedict cycled to his bakery with 16 trays of eggs. There were 24 eggs in each tray. He fell on his way and broke 1/3 of the eggs. He sold 5/8 of the good eggs and put the remaining eggs equally into 12 small baskets. How many eggs did he put into each basket?
There are 16*24 or 384 eggs.
1/3 of them (128 eggs) break. You are left with 384-128 or 256 eggs.
5/8 are sold, 3/8 remain. 3/8*256 is 96.
Lastly, split the 96 remaining eggs into 12 baskets. 96 ÷ 12 = 8.
The answer is 8
+237 16 trays with 24 eggs in each tray
total 16 * 24 eggs.
he fell and broke 1/3 of eggs.
broken eggs = 1/3 * 16 * 24
good eggs = 2/3 * 16 * 24
he sold 5/8 of good eggs.
sold = 5/8 * 2/3 * 16 * 24
remaining = 3/8 * 2/3 * 16 * 24
he put remaining equally in 12 basket
in one basket he put
= 1/12 * 3/8 * 2/3 * 162 * 242
= 2 * 2 * 2
= 8 eggs in one basket
