soufflés.

Answer 1

Takeru bought 72 eggs and baked 18 soufflés .

Explanation:

Let

e = number of eggs Takeru bought.

s = number of soufflés Takeru bought.

Then we know that Takeru bought 4 times as many eggs as he baked soufflés, therefore:

`e=4s.`

And since for every soufflés Takeru bakes he uses 3 eggs, and after backing he has 18 eggs left, we have:

`e-3s=18` This says that from
`e` eggs there are 18 eggs left after Tkeru used three eggs for each soufflé.

Now we have two equations:

`(1).e=4s.`

`(2).e-3s=18`

We put the value of e from equation (1) into equation (2) and solve for s and get:

`s=18`

`e=4s=4*18=72.`

Thus

Number of eggs Takeru bought = 72.

Number of soufflés Takeru bought = 18.
