Question

How do I answer this?

Answer 1

1 carton has 36 eggs.

to find X eggs you would need to multiply 36 eggs by the number of cartons bought.

Let c = number of cartons:

The expression becomes: x = 36c

For 180 eggs, replace x with 180 and solve for c:

180 = 36c

c = 180 / 36

c= 5 cartons.
