No, Phil did not write the decimal correctly. If Phil started out with 100 eggs and sold 44 then the decimal would be 0.44, but he only had 60, so the decimal would be 0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

enable to find the decimal of 2 numbers, you must divide usually the smaller number by the larger number anable to get the percentage. so, in this question, you divide 44 by 60 and therefore getting your answer, Phil sold 0.73 of his eggs.
