As I read this post, I see two inconsistent statements/messages there
without any visible logical connection between them.
Look, think, check, re-check, double-check, cross-check, fix, and write
your request in a proper human language, clearly saying what is given
and what you want to get (to learn). Do not use excessive words (if you know what it means).
Then re-post.

The underlying concept here -- not at all clearly stated -- is that the total weight is directly proportional to the number of eggs.
E = # of eggs
W = weight
k = constant of proportionality
W = k*E
Using the given information that the weight of 6 eggs is 258g,
258 = k*6
k = 258/6 = 43
ANSWER: The constant of proportionality is 43 (grams per egg)
Note we could equally well say that the number of eggs is directly proportional to the total weight -- in which case the constant of proportionality would be (1/43) eggs per gram.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! What do you want here exactly? Unit conversion? Where is shown this weight of the 66 eggs?
If 6 eggs are 258 grams, then you have this.
 so this is 43 grams per egg.
If you have 66 eggs then their weight is  grams
or better 2.84 kilograms.
