Answer

(c) 340\text{(c) } 340

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Calculate the number of broken eggs.

    The total number of eggs is 500.
    The fraction of broken eggs is 325\frac{3}{25}.
    Number of broken eggs =325×500= \frac{3}{25} \times 500

    =3×50025= 3 \times \frac{500}{25} =3×20= 3 \times 20 =60 eggs= 60 \text{ eggs}
  2. Calculate the number of eggs to be kept for guests.

    The fraction of eggs for guests is 15\frac{1}{5} of the total.
    Number of eggs for guests =15×500= \frac{1}{5} \times 500

    =100 eggs= 100 \text{ eggs}
  3. Calculate the total number of eggs that cannot be used.

    Total unusable eggs = Broken eggs + Eggs for guests

    =60+100= 60 + 100 =160 eggs= 160 \text{ eggs}
  4. Calculate the number of eggs which can be used.

    Usable eggs = Total eggs - Total unusable eggs

    =500−160= 500 - 160 =340 eggs= 340 \text{ eggs}
  5. Compare the result with the given options.

    The calculated number of usable eggs is 340, which matches option (c).

    The final answer is (c) 340\text{(c) } 340.
