The number of eggs left is .

Further explanation:

This is a tricky question which tests the ability of a person to understand and comprehend the data.

The statement in the question is given as follows:

“I have eggs, I broke eggs, fried eggs, and ate eggs.”

It seems that in the above statement, three different cases or three different situations are involved but it is not so, because the given data belongs to one situation.

To solve these types of questions one has to think logically because confusion occurs only when the data is given in a vague form.

In the question, it is given that initially the total number eggs are . So, the person who was hungry decided to eat eggs. The person breaks eggs and then fry the same eggs.

Now, if the person broke eggs then it is very obvious that the person will fry the same broken eggs.

This implies that the person broke eggs, then fried the same eggs and then ate those eggs.

Since, out of the eggs the person broke eggs and ate them then so, there are eggs remaining in the cart.

This implies that eggs are left with the person.

Thus, the number of eggs remaining with the person is .

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x

ending amount = beginning amount / (2^n)

where "n" = number of half-lives (or elapsed time / half-life)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^10 / 5.3)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^ 1.8867924528)

ending amount = 50 m / 3.6981210597

ending amount = 13.5203794557 mg

or about 13.5 mg remain
