Question

A baker had 300 eggs at first. In the morning, he used some eggs. In the afternoon, he used $\frac{1}{3}$ of the remaining eggs. After that, there were 60 eggs left. How many eggs did the baker use in the morning?
Answer: 210

Worked solution

  1. $1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$
  2. $\frac{2}{3}$ of remaining = 60
  3. $\frac{1}{3}$ of remaining = 30
  4. remaining = 90
  5. eggs used in morning = $300 - 90 = 210$
