Answer:

260 eggs per person per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that over the last 40 years, the percent decrease in egg consumption in the U.S. is 35%. Forty years ago, the average consumption was 400 eggs per person per year.

To find the average consumption of eggs today, we will find 65% (100%-35%) of 400.

\text{The average consumption of eggs today}=\frac{65}{100}\times 400

\text{The average consumption of eggs today}=65\times 4

\text{The average consumption of eggs today}=260

Therefore, the average consumption of eggs today is 260 eggs per person per year.
