Question 1 Report

A farmer collects 800 eggs from a laying stock of 1,200 birds per day. Determine the laying percentage of the birds

Answer Details
To determine the laying percentage of the birds, we need to find the proportion of eggs laid by each bird in a day. If we divide the total number of eggs collected (800) by the number of birds (1,200), we get the average number of eggs per bird in a day: 800 eggs ÷ 1,200 birds = 0.67 eggs per bird To convert this to a percentage, we can multiply by 100: 0.67 eggs per bird × 100 = 67% laying percentage Therefore, the laying percentage of the birds is 67%.
