Uncle Ben has 440 chickens on his farm. 39 are roosters and the rest are hens. 15 of his hens do not lay eggs, and the rest do. If each egg-laying hen lays 3 eggs, how many eggs will Uncle Ben have? Let's answer step by step:
Uncle Ben has 440 chickens - 39 roosters = 401 hens. Uncle Ben has 401 hens - 15 that don't lay eggs = 386 hens that lay eggs. The egg - laying hens each lay 3 eggs * 386 hens = 1158 eggs. The answer: 1158.
