Question

Betty, Max, Robert and Luke were all given 7 Easter eggs each. Betty stepped on two of hers, Max gave 5 of his away to his parent, Robert broke 4 of his and Luke ate all but one of his. At the end of the day, assuming all of the children ate all the eggs that were whole, how many eggs were consumed between the children?

Answer 1

The answer is they consumed 17 eggs

Answer 2

Hello!

First you have to find the total amount eggs

All 4 kids were given 7 eggs

7 * 4 = 28

There are 28 eggs in total

Betty stepped on 2

28 - 2 = 26

Max gave 5 away

26 - 5 = 21

Robert broke 4

21 - 4 = 17

Luke ate all but 1

17 - 6 = 11

The answer is 11

Hope this helps!
