Question

Mr. Márquez had 123 eggs in a refrigerator in his restaurant. He put 32 more cartons of eggs in the

refrigerator. Each carton contained 18 eggs. Which of these is the best estimate of the number of eggs Mr.
Márquez now has in his refrigerator?
A. 600
OB. 400
OC. 700
D. 900

Answer 1

C. 700 because u take 18 (amount of eggs) multiple it by 32 (that’s the amount of cartons) plus 123 (from what he has) equals 699 so c is about the number of eggs he has

Answer 2

700 eggs

Explanation:

First take the cartons and determine the number of eggs

32 cartons * 18 eggs per carton

576 eggs

Add the eggs not in cartons

576+123 =699
