If three friends divide eggs from a bag equally. After each of them eat 4 eggs, the total number of eggs remaining with them, is equal to 1/3 of total eggs. Find the original number of total eggs.
Original no. of eggs = 18...
let original no. of eggs be x...
x- 3*4 = x/3 => x-x/3 =12 => 2x/3 = 12 => x= 18...
18 Eggs.
As all eat 4 eggs, means total eggs eaten is 12 eggs
& they are left with 1/3 of total eggs. means 2/3 of total eggs eaten
Thus they had 18 eggs.
Let x = original number of eggs Each friend gets 1/3 x eggs Each friend eats 4 eggs Therefore, ( 1/3 x - 4) * 3 = 1/3 x Solving the equation, X = 18 eggs
