Question

Gregory's nine chickens laid an average of six eggs each per week. Gregory sold those eggs for $3 per dozen. How much money did he collect in two weeks if he sold all his eggs?

Answer 1

Gregory collected `$27` from the sale of eggs.

Explanation:

Nine chickens laying an average of six eggs per week will lay totally `x` number of eggs in two weeks:

`x=9xx6xx2`

`x=108`

`108` divided by `12` is `9`, which means that Gregory sold `9` dozen eggs in two weeks.

At the rate of `$3` per dozen, Gregory collected:

`9xx3=27`
