Question

A shopkeeper has 204 eggs. He puts 12 egg in each egg tray. How many egg trays does he need?

• A. 16
• B. 17
• C. 14
• D. 13

Answer 1

The correct option is B 17

Number of eggs = 204
Number of eggs per tray = 12
Number of trays needed = 204 $÷$ 12

$\begin{array}{c}17\\ 12204\\ -\underset{–}{12}2\\ 84\\ -\underset{–}{84}2\\ 0\end{array}$

$\therefore$ A shopkeeper needs 17 egg trays.
