Urgent! a farmer collected 12 dozen eggs from her chickens. she sold 5/6 of the eggs at the farmers’ market 2 and gave the rest to her friends and neighbors. a. how many dozen eggs did the farmer give away? how many did she give away? include an equation. b. she sold a dozen for $4.50. how much did she earn from the eggs she sold? include equations

1 dozen = 12so 12 dozen eggs is (12 * 12) = 144 eggs

she sold 5/6 of the eggsso she sold : 5/6 * 144 = 720/6 = 120 eggs
she gave her friends (144 - 120) = 24 eggs

(a) 12x = 120with x being the number of dozens of eggs
        x = 120/12
        x = 10 <== she gave away 10 dozen eggs

(b) she sold a dozen for 4.50
     4.50x = E x = the number of dozens of eggs sold and E = total             earned. She sold 10 dozen...so sub in 10 for x
     4.50(10) = E
    45 = E <=== she earned $ 45 from the eggs she sold
     

The household makes $424.45
