Step-by-step explanation:

20% of the eggs broke ... 25% were reserved for the guests ... thats 45%

the remaining 22 eggs were consumed by family members ...

so if 45% consisted of broken eggs and reserved eggs, then 55% were consumed by family members ... and there were 22 eggs consumed by family.

so 55% of all the eggs = 22 eggs

0.55x = 22

x = 22 / 0.55

x = 40 eggs in the basket

20% of the eggs broke ... 20% of 40 = 0.20 (40) = 8 eggs broke

25% were reserved ... 25% of 40 = 0.25 (40) = 10 eggs reserved
