Shonda is throwing an Easter egg hunt for her 2 kids and their 10 friends. She is also supplying enough eggs for herself and the 7 other adults there to find eggs as well. If there are 15 Easter egg baskets for everyone to share and each ends up holding 12 Easter eggs, when they equally distribute all of the Easter eggs to everyone, how many eggs does each person get? Give me reasons, before answering the question
There are 15 Easter egg baskets with 12 Easter eggs in them, 15 x 12 = 180 Easter eggs. There are 7 adults + Shonda (1) + 2 of Shonda's kids + 10 of their friends = 20 people at the Easter egg hunt. There are 180 Easter eggs for 20 people, 180 / 20 = 9 Easter eggs each for everyone. So the final answer is 9.
