Question : 47

Total: 50

What is the percentage of birds that did not lay eggs?

Solution:

Concept:

The percentage of birds that did not lay eggs is found by comparing the non-laying birds with the total number of birds.

Explanation:

Total number of birds

= 2{,}000

Number of eggs laid per day

= 1{,}680

Assuming each laying bird lays one egg per day, the number of birds that did not lay eggs is:

2{,}000 - 1{,}680 = 320

Now calculate the percentage:

\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{320}{2{,}000}\right) \times 100 = 16\%

Answer:

16\%
