Answer 1

To find the cost per egg for each carton, you need to divide the total cost by the number of eggs in the carton.

1. **Cost per egg for the carton of 18 eggs:**

Total cost = $6.30
Number of eggs = 18

Cost per egg = Total cost / Number of eggs
= $6.30 / 18
= $0.35

2. **Cost per egg for the carton of 12 eggs:**

Total cost = $3.96
Number of eggs = 12

Cost per egg = Total cost / Number of eggs
= $3.96 / 12
= $0.33

So, the cost per egg for the carton of 18 eggs is $0.35, and the cost per egg for the carton of 12 eggs is $0.33.
