Hi,
To solve this, you need to find out,
1. The total no of eggs (Let's say there are x eggs in total)
and then,
2. Out of all eggs(x), how much are brown eggs(Let's say there are y number of brown eggs)
To find the total number of eggs(x) you'll have to multiply the no of eggs in each carton by the no of cartons.
After that you can equate 2/3 of x(total no of eggs) , to the number of brown eggs.
Hope this helps! :-)
