My question is: Megan bought 2 dozen eggs. As she was walking to her car, she dropped a tray of eggs. 3 eggs broke, and twice as many cracked. What is the difference between the eggs that are still in perfect condition and those that are cracked? Your thoughts:
2 dozen eggs means 2 x 12 = 24 eggs. 3 x 2 = 6 eggs cracked. The remaining eggs still in perfect condition is 24 - 3 - 6 = 15. The difference between the perfect eggs and cracked eggs is 15 - 6 = 9 eggs. The final answer: 9.
