Options

A. `15 s- 1`
B. `15 - s`
C. `s - 15`
D. `1 - 15 s`

Answer

To find the number of eggs left with Sanjay after he used some for baking and some were broken, we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify the total number of eggs Sanjay had**:
- Sanjay had \( S \) eggs.

2. **Determine how many eggs were used and broken**:
- Sanjay used \( 8 \) eggs to bake a cake.
- Additionally, \( 7 \) eggs were broken.

3. **Calculate the total number of eggs used and broken**:
- Total eggs used and broken = Eggs used for baking + Eggs broken
- Total = \( 8 + 7 = 15 \) eggs.

4. **Subtract the total used and broken eggs from the initial number of eggs**:
- Eggs left = Total eggs - Total eggs used and broken
- Eggs left = \( S - 15 \).

Thus, the expression that shows the number of eggs left with Sanjay is \( S - 15 \).
