select choice had a greater percent decrease in the number of eggs gathered each morning than select choice. the difference in the percentages of decrease is select choice.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Jorge's percent decrease

Percent decrease formula: $\frac{\text{Original - New}}{\text{Original}} \times 100\%$
For Jorge: $\frac{10 - 6}{10} \times 100\% = \frac{4}{10} \times 100\% = 40\%$

Step2: Calculate Katy's percent decrease

For Katy: $\frac{30 - 24}{30} \times 100\% = \frac{6}{30} \times 100\% = 20\%$

Step3: Compare percent decreases

Jorge's 40% > Katy's 20%, so Jorge had greater decrease.

Step4: Find difference in percentages

$40\% - 20\% = 20\%$

Answer:

First "Select Choice": Jorge
