Roberta wants to have a dinner party centered around souffles. Each savory souffle calls for 8 eggs each and the dessert ones call for 6 eggs each. She wants to make 3 savory souffles and 5 dessert souffles for the party. How many eggs will she need? Give me reasons, before answering the question
The savory souffles need 8 eggs each and she wants to make 3 of these so she needs 8 * 3 = 24 eggs. The dessert souffles need 6 eggs each and she wants to make 5 of these so she needs 6 * 5 = 30 eggs. For the dinner party she will need 24 + 30 = 54 eggs in total. So the final answer is 54.
