Correct Option: C
Here's how to solve the problem:
1. **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.
2. **Calculate the number of eggs remaining:**
* The farmer started with 200 eggs and sold 165.
* Eggs remaining: 200 - 165 = 35 eggs.
3. **Calculate the percentage of eggs remaining:**
* (Eggs remaining / Total eggs) * 100%
* (35 / 200) * 10
