WAEC Agriculture 2017 Paper

Concept:Laying percentage is the ratio of eggs produced per day to the total number of birds, expressed as a percentage.Explanation:Eggs collected per day $= 800$Total number of birds $= 1200$Since each bird can lay at most one egg per day, the laying percentage is:$\text{Laying percentage} = \frac{\text{Eggs collected per day}}{\text{Total birds}} \times 100$Substitute the given values:$= \frac{800}{1200} \times 100$Simplify $\frac{800}{1200}$ to $\frac{2}{3}$:$= \frac{2}{3} \times 100 = 66.67\%$Rounded to the nearest whole number, this equals $67\%$.Answer:$67\%$, which is option B.
