Hi RAB,

Total number of eggs = 200

The number of eggs which broke = 50

First divide the number of eggs which broke with the total number of eggs

So, \frac{50}{200} = 0.25

Now, convert this to percentage by multpilying 0.25 with 100

As you know when we multiply a decimal number with 100, the decimal point moves two places to the right. So, we get 25%

Bye!
