Jaden's family brought eggs from their farm to a local farmers' market. They brought 37 cartons of brown eggs that each held 12 eggs. They also brought 61 cartons of white eggs that each held 6 eggs. They sold 29 cartons of brown eggs and 56 cartons of white eggs. How many eggs, both brown and white, did they have left?

Answer 1

To calculate how many eggs Jaden's family had left after selling some cartons, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the total number of eggs they brought.

1. Brown eggs:

   • They brought 37 cartons of brown eggs.
   • Each carton holds 12 eggs. \[ \text{Total brown eggs} = 37 \text{ cartons} \times 12 \text{ eggs/carton} = 444 \text{ brown eggs} \]

2. White eggs:

   • They brought 61 cartons of white eggs.
   • Each carton holds 6 eggs. \[ \text{Total white eggs} = 61 \text{ cartons} \times 6 \text{ eggs/carton} = 366 \text{ white eggs} \]

Step 2: Calculate the total number of eggs they sold.

1. Brown eggs sold:

   • They sold 29 cartons of brown eggs. \[ \text{Brown eggs sold} = 29 \text{ cartons} \times 12 \text{ eggs/carton} = 348 \text{ brown eggs} \]

2. White eggs sold:

   • They sold 56 cartons of white eggs. \[ \text{White eggs sold} = 56 \text{ cartons} \times 6 \text{ eggs/carton} = 336 \text{ white eggs} \]

Step 3: Calculate the remaining eggs.

1. Brown eggs left: \[ \text{Brown eggs left} = \text{Total brown eggs} - \text{Brown eggs sold} = 444 - 348 = 96 \text{ brown eggs} \]

2. White eggs left: \[ \text{White eggs left} = \text{Total white eggs} - \text{White eggs sold} = 366 - 336 = 30 \text{ white eggs} \]

Step 4: Calculate the total number of eggs left. \[ \text{Total eggs left} = \text{Brown eggs left} + \text{White eggs left} = 96 + 30 = 126 \text{ eggs} \]

Therefore, the total number of eggs they had left is \( \boxed{126} \).
