Correct Option: C
Here's how to solve the problem:
-
Calculate the number of eggs sold:
- Each crate contains 30 eggs (a standard assumption).
- The farmer sold 5.5 crates, so he sold 5.5 * 30 = 165 eggs.
-
Calculate the number of eggs remaining:
- The farmer started with 200 eggs and sold 165.
- Eggs remaining: 200 - 165 = 35 eggs.
-
Calculate the percentage of eggs remaining:
- (Eggs remaining / Total eggs) * 100%
- (35 / 200) * 10
