\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "The number of eggs needed to make 8 cakes and 6 flans is 8*4 + 6*6 = 32 + 36 = 68.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, 5 cartons of eggs (giving 60 eggs) is not enough; let's try 6 cartons.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "6 cartoons carry 6*12 = 72 eggs.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is just enough for the baker needs, since 72 > 68.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  5 cartoons are not enough, but 6 cartoons is just enough: \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "         so, 6 cartoons is the minimum number of cartoons to buy.\r\n" );
