Answer:
Takeru bought 72 eggs and baked 18 soufflés .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
e = number of eggs Takeru bought.
s = number of soufflés Takeru bought.
Then we know that Takeru bought 4 times as many eggs as he baked soufflés, therefore:
[tex]e=4s.[/tex]
And since for every soufflés Takeru bakes he uses 3 eggs, and after backing he has 18 eggs left, we have:
[tex]e-3s=18[/tex] This says that from [tex]e[/tex] eggs there are 18 eggs left after Tkeru used three eggs for each soufflé.
Now we have two equations:
[tex](1).e=4s.[/tex]
[tex](2).e-3s=18[/tex]
We put the value of e from equation (1) into equation (2) and solve for s and get:
[tex]s=18[/tex]
[tex]e=4s=4*18=72.[/tex]
Thus
Number of eggs Takeru bought = 72.
Number of soufflés Takeru bought = 18.
