The Wood family bought 6 crates of eggs last week. Each crate had 12 eggs. Since then, they have eaten 27 of the eggs. How many eggs are left?

Sagot :

Answer:

  45 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the number of eggs left after 27 have been eaten from a supply of 6 crates having 12 eggs each.

Egg purchase

If each of 6 crates had 12 eggs, the number of eggs bought was ...

  (6 crates) × (12 eggs/crate) = 72 eggs

Eggs remaining

If 27 of those 72 were eaten, the number remaining is ...

  72 -27 = 45

45 eggs are left.
