Answer: 63 eggs
Step 1: Find initial amount of eggs
Before we can solve for how many eggs are left, we must first find out how many eggs Candice initially had. We are told she bought six dozen eggs. Since a dozen is twelve, we can find out how many eggs she had by multiplying twelve and six. Let’s do this now.
6×12= 72
Step 2: Find solution
Now let’s solve for how many eggs Candice has left. We know that she bought 72 eggs, and that she broke 9. To find the answer, we need to subtract 9 from 72.
72-9= 63
