Question: Michael bought 6 crates of egg on Tuesday. He gave out 2 crates to Susan, who he admires and bought another 5 crates on Thursday. If one crate holds 30 eggs, how many eggs does he have now? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
He had 6 crates and then gave out 2 so he now has 6 - 2 = 4 crates left. He bought an additional 5 crates for a total of 4 + 5 = 9 crates. Each crate has 30 eggs so he has 30 * 9 = 270 eggs. So the answer is 270.
