Hello There!

-What We Know-

Erin made 66 deviled eggs for a party.

After an hour 8 eggs were left.

X amount of eggs were eaten within the first hour.

——————————————————————————

We subtract 8 eggs how many were left after the hour

From how many eggs we had in total.

66-8=58.

58 eggs were eaten within the hour.
