Answer:
103
Step-by-step explanation:
For 1200 eggs, the caterer needs ...
(1200 eggs)/(12 eggs/carton) = 100 cartons
of unbroken eggs.
The rate of broken eggs is 1 in 3×12 = 1 in 36, so the caterer must buy 36 eggs for each 35 unbroken eggs delivered.
Then the number of cartons that must be purchased is ...
(100 cartons)(36/35) = 102 6/7 cartons
The caterer should buy 103 cartons of eggs.
