Question

Kyle wants to buy 20 prefilled eggs each egg is priced $5
Purchase any set of 3 prefilled eggs for $12 or take 20% off entire purchase

Answer 1

Let's analyze the options Kyle has for buying 20 prefilled eggs that each cost $5.

1. **Individual Purchase:**
- Cost of 20 eggs at $5 each:
\[
20 \text{ eggs} \times 5 \text{ dollars/egg} = 100 \text{ dollars}
\]

2. **Buying in Sets of 3:**
- Kyle can purchase any set of 3 eggs for $12. To find out how many sets of 3 he can buy, we divide 20 by 3:
\[
\frac{20}{3} \approx 6 \text{ sets} \text{ (with 2 eggs left over)}
\]
- The cost for 6 sets of 3 eggs:
\[
6 \text{ sets} \times 12 \text{ dollars/set} = 72 \text{ dollars}
\]
- For the remaining 2 eggs (not part of a set), the cost would be:
\[
2 \text{ eggs} \times 5 \text{ dollars/egg} = 10 \text{ dollars}
\]
- Total cost if buying 6 sets of 3 and 2 individual eggs:
\[
72 \text{ dollars} + 10 \text{ dollars} = 82 \text{ dollars}
\]

3. **20% Discount on Entire Purchase:**
- If Kyle takes a 20% discount on the original price of $100:
\[
100 \text{ dollars} \times 0.20 = 20 \text{ dollars}
\]
- The total after the discount:
\[
100 \text{ dollars} - 20 \text{ dollars} = 80 \text{ dollars}
\]

### Summary of Costs:
- Individual Purchase: $100
- 6 sets of 3 + 2 individual eggs: $82
- 20% off the entire purchase: $80

### Best Option:
The best option for Kyle is to take the **20% discount**, resulting in a total of **$80** for the purchase of 20 prefilled eggs.
