To be considered grade AC, an egg must weigh between 75 and 90 grams, including the shell. Shells of grade AC eggs weigh between 3 and 5 grams. What is the smallest possible mass, in grams, of a 12-egg omelet, assuming that only grade AC eggs are used, the shells are all discarded, and no mass is lost in the cooking process? Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 800
B) 840
C) 864
D) 900
E) 1,080
We're asked for the smallest possible mass, so what could the lowest mass be per egg AC? A 75 gram egg, with a 5 gram shell, or 70 grams ofcookingmass. 12 x 70 = 840, so the answer is 840.
