1. **State the problem:** We have 40 eggs in total, and 8 of them are damaged. We need to find the percentage of eggs that are good. 2. **Calculate the number of good eggs:** $$\text{Good eggs} = \text{Total eggs} - \text{Damaged eggs} = 40 - 8 = 32$$ 3. **Calculate the percentage of good eggs:** $$\text{Percentage of good eggs} = \left(\frac{\text{Good eggs}}{\text{Total eggs}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{32}{40}\right) \times 100$$ 4. **Simplify the fraction and calculate:** $$\frac{32}{40} = 0.8$$ $$0.8 \times 100 = 80$$ **Final answer:** 80% of the eggs were good.
