Question

Takeru only uses eggs for soufflés in his restaurant. He uses 3 eggs per soufflé. Last week, he bought 4 times as many eggs as he baked soufflés. Takeru had 18 eggs left over.

How many eggs did Takeru buy and how many soufflés did he bake?

Answer 1

He baked x souffles.

He bought 4x eggs.

He used 3x eggs.

4x-3x = x = 18 eggs are left over .

He made 18 souffles.

He used 18 *3 = 54 eggs to make them.

He bought. 4*18 = 54 + 18 = 72 eggs.
