Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. A gecko lays 30 eggs per year. 20 percent of them are infertile, and a third of the remaining eggs will not hatch due to calcification issues. How many eggs actually hatch?
Infertile:30(.20) = 6. 30 - 6 = 24 eggs remain. Calcification Issues:24(1 / 3) = 8. 24 - 8 = 16 eggs that will hatch.
The final answer: 16.
