Lizzy: Megan went to the store and bought a dozen eggs. When she got home, her neighbor gave her another dozen eggs from her chickens. Megan used 2 eggs to make an omelet for dinner and 4 eggs to bake a cake. When Megan's aunt came over for a visit, Megan gave her half of her remaining eggs. How many eggs per meal would Megan have if she plans to divide what she has left equally for her next 3 meals?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Megan has 12 + 12 = 24 eggs. After making her omelet and cake, she was left with 24 - 2 - 4 = 18 eggs. After giving half to her aunt, she was left with 18 / 2 = 9. Megan would have 9 / 3 = 3 eggs per meal for the next three meals. Final answer: 3.
