Answer:

5 cartons of eggs

3 packages of steaks

Total cost=$55

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to find the least common multiple of

6 (number of eggs in a carton) and 10 (number of ham steaks in each package)

LCM = 30

6 12 18 24 30

10 20 30 40 50

Since each carton of eggs (x) has 6 eggs, that expression must be equal to 30(eggs) to find the number of cartons.

6 (x ) = 30

Solving for x

x = 30/6

x = 5 cartons

Same process for the steak, where y= number of packages .

10 y = 30

y = 30/10

y=3 packages

Since each carton costs $2 and each package of steaks cost $15:

Total Cost =x 2+y 15

Replacing with the values of x and y calculated

Total cost = (5)2 + (3)15 = 10+45 =$55

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
