9. A carton of eggs has 12 eggs. For the school brunch celebration, Tony, Isabelle, and Gino each brought cartons of eggs. Altogether, there were 192 eggs. Tony brought 3 cartons and Gino brought 6 cartons. Write an equation to determine how many cartons of eggs Isabella brought, i.
________ (i + _______) = _______
*Fill in blanks and show work
Let's represent the number of cartons Isabella brought as "i".
Tony brought 3 cartons and Gino brought 6 cartons, so the total number of cartons from Tony and Gino is 3 + 6 = 9 cartons.
Each carton has 12 eggs, so the total number of eggs from Tony and Gino is 9 * 12 = 108 eggs.
The total number of eggs is given as 192 eggs.
Thus, the equation to determine how many cartons of eggs Isabella brought is:
12i + 108 = 192
wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response.
Let's represent the number of cartons Isabella brought as "i".
Tony brought 3 cartons and Gino brought 6 cartons, so the total number of cartons from Tony and Gino is 3 + 6 = 9 cartons.
Each carton has 12 eggs, so the total number of eggs from Tony and Gino is 9 x 12 = 108 eggs.
The total number of eggs is given as 192 eggs.
To find the number of cartons Isabella brought, we need to subtract the number of cartons from Tony and Gino from the total number of cartons.
So, the equation to determine how many cartons of eggs Isabella brought is:
i + 9 = 12
Simplifying the equation, we subtract 9 from both sides:
i = 12 - 9
i = 3
Therefore, Isabella brought 3 cartons of eggs.
