In the given problem it is already stated that the cost of each eggs is 15 cent. Out the total eggs bought 6 were broken. The rest of the eggs were sold for 20 cents each and the profit made was $4.80.
Cost of the 6 broken eggs = (6 * 0.15)
= 0.9 cents
Let us assume that the number of eggs bought = x
Then we can write the equation as
0.2x - (0.15x - 0.9) = 4.80
0.2x - 0.15x + 0.9 = 4.80
0.05x = 4.80 - 0.9
0.05x = 3.9
x = 3.9/0.05
= 78
So the number of eggs bought by him is 78
Answer: 42
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that because 40% percent of 70 equals 28. So we do the following-
70 minus 28 equals 42!

Answer:
2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x-1
g(x) = x+2
Find (f-g)(x), this means we need to subtract g from x.
(3x-1) - (x+2)
Subtract the like terms:
3x -x = 2x
-1 -2 = -3
Combine them to get 2x-3
