Megan bought 2 dozen eggs. As she was walking to her car, she dropped a tray of eggs. 3 eggs broke, and twice as many cracked. What is the difference between the eggs that are still in perfect condition and those that are cracked?
Please answer and provide answer explanation.
9
2 dozen eggs means 2 x 12 = 24 eggs.

3 x 2 = 6 eggs cracked.

The remaining eggs still in perfect condition is 24 - 3 - 6 = 15.

The difference between the perfect eggs and cracked eggs is 15 - 6 = 9 eggs.

.

So, the answer is 9
