A poultry farmer realized 200 eggs from his birds and sold 5 \(\frac{1}{2}\) crates of eggs. What percentages of eggs are left?
A
82.5%
B
15%
C
17.5%
D
85%
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
5 crates = 30 eggs * 5 = 150eggs
1/2 crate = 15 eggs
Total sold = 165
remainder = 200 - 165 = 35
And 35 is equivalent 17.5% of the realized eggs
