Question

betty has 24 eggs. jerry has five less than a quarter of the eggs betty has. john has 4 more eggs than jerry. how many eggs does john have

Answer 1

10 because
1 quarter = 1/4
so 24 divided by 1/4 = 6
6 + 4 = 10
so john has 10 eggs
hope this helps!!

Answer 2

1/4 of 24 is 6 .
1/4 = 6
2/4=12
3/4=18
4/4=24
If Jerry has five less than a quarter of the eggs Betty has , then he has one egg .
5 - 6=1
John has 4 more eggs than Jerry which means that he has 5 eggs.
4 + 1=5
Answer: John has 5 eggs in total.
