Question

Hosting a breakfast brunch for 25 people, you plan to serve scrambled eggs.

The grocery store sells eggs in cartons, and each carton can feed 4 people,
how many guests can be served per carton?

Answer 1

If each carton can feed 4 people, then you can buy 7 carton and feed 4 people per carton with leftovers expected, or you can buy 5 carton and serve 5 people per carton with no leftovers

Explanation:

5 carton × 5 = 25 people fed

while 7 carton × 4 = 28 people = 25 people fed plus leftover for 3 people
