Answer:
Takeru bought 72 eggs and baked 18 soufflés .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
e = number of eggs Takeru bought.
s = number of soufflés Takeru bought.
Then we know that Takeru bought 4 times as many eggs as he baked soufflés, therefore:
And since for every soufflés Takeru bakes he uses 3 eggs, and after backing he has 18 eggs left, we have:
<em>This says that from
eggs there are 18 eggs left after Tkeru used three eggs for each soufflé.</em>
Now we have two equations:
We put the value of e from equation (1) into equation (2) and solve for s and get:
Thus
Number of eggs Takeru bought = 72.
Number of soufflés Takeru bought = 18.
