Answer:
150 eggs were broken
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of duck eggs = 2/5 * 600 = 240
Number of chicken eggs = 600 - 240 = 360
Total number of duck eggs after delivery = 240x 8/15 = 450
Remaining chicken eggs =450-240=210
So broken chicken eggs= 360-210=150
Answer:
150 chicken eggs broke.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let chicken eggs be represented by = c
Let duck eggs be represented by = d
An egg seller ordered 600 duck eggs and chicken eggs altogether.
[tex]c+d=600[/tex]
The number of duck eggs was 2/5 of the total number of eggs.
=> d=[tex]\frac{2}{5}\times600= 240[/tex] eggs.
So, c=[tex]600-240=360[/tex]
Some chicken eggs broke during delivery and the number of duck eggs became 8/15 of the total number of eggs.
Let x eggs broke.
Remaining were [tex]600-x[/tex]
And d=[tex]\frac{8}{15}\times(600-x)[/tex]
=> [tex]240= \frac{8}{15}\times(600-x)[/tex]
=> [tex]8(600-x)=240\times15[/tex]
=> [tex]4800-8x=3600[/tex]
=> [tex]8x=1200[/tex]
x = 150
Hence, 150 chicken eggs broke.
