It was Trevor's job to collect fresh eggs from the family's 4 chickens every morning.  He got 4 eggs from Gertrude and 3 eggs from Blanche. Nancy laid 2 eggs as did Martha. On the way, he dropped 2 eggs. How many eggs did Trevor have left? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
He collected 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 eggs for a total of 11 eggs. He dropped 2 eggs so 11 - 2 = 9 eggs left. So, the answer is 9.
