a road side stand bought 11 large baskets of eggs from a farmer and sold 39 small baskets of eggs, which hold fewer than a dozen. there were 19 eggs left over. how many eggs does a large basket hold?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = no. of eggs in a large basket
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of eggs in a small basket
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation:
\n" ); document.write( "11y = 39x + 19
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%28%2839x%2B19%29%29%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "We know that y has to be an integer and (39x+19) has to be a multiple of 11
\n" ); document.write( "Not many values of x less than 12, will fit the requirement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A few minutes with a calc and you come up with x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%28%2839%286%29%2B19%29%29%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = 23 eggs in a large basket (6 in a small basket)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
