A family had 10 eggs, but the mother used 5 of them to make an omelet. Then, 2 chickens laid 3 eggs each. How many eggs does the family have now?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
There were 10 eggs but 5 of them were used so, there are 10 - 5 = 5 eggs. Then the two chickens laid 2 * 3 = 6 eggs in total. Thus, the family has 5 + 6 = 11 eggs now.
Thus, the answer is 11.
