    To answer this item, we use the concept of ratio and proportion wherein the ratio of the baseline for the number of cartons of eggs and the number of cracked eggs will be the same with the second set of data.

    25 cartons / 3 cracked eggs = 500 cartons / x cracked eggs

    The value of x from the equation is 60.
