The price of eggs rises 10 cents per dozen 2018-11-10
From Maddie:
Hi! I'm currently struggling with a word problem that says: "If the price of eggs rises 10 cents per dozen, one will be able to get 2 dozen fewer eggs with $6.00 than was possible at the lower price. What is the lower price? We are working on completing the square and all of the problems I've done so far in this chapter require using that method. If possible and needed, could you explain how to set up the equation? Thank you so much! I appreciate all your help!!

The cousin of Sally's sister's boyfriend 2003-01-23
From Michael:
Sally went to a farm to buy eggs. Returning home, she gave half of them to her sister who, in turn, gave a third of those she had gotten to her boyfriend. The latter, after eating one third of the eggs that he had gotten, gave the rest to his cousin. Given that each egg weighs 70 grams, that Sally cannot carry more than 2.5kg, and that the eggs were raw, calculate how many eggs the cousin of Sally's sister's boyfriend received.
