Given:

Kayal bought 5 dozen eggs.

Out of that 45 eggs are good eggs.

Formula Used:

Percentage of rotten eggs = (Number of rotten eggs / Total number of eggs) × 100

Calculation:

Total number of eggs = 5 dozen = 5 × 12 = 60

Number of rotten eggs = Total number of eggs - Number of good eggs

Number of rotten eggs = 60 - 45

Number of rotten eggs = 15

Percentage of rotten eggs = (Number of rotten eggs / Total number of eggs) × 100

Percentage of rotten eggs = (15 / 60) × 100

Percentage of rotten eggs = 0.25 × 100

Percentage of rotten eggs = 25%

The correct option is 3.
