Question: Annie is cooking breakfast. She starts with a full carton of 18 eggs and fries two thirds of them, but she burns a quarter of the eggs she fries. How many eggs does Annie fry successfully?
Answer: 9 eggs
Solution: Annie fries 2/3 x 18 = 12 eggs. If Annie burns a quarter of those, that means she burns 1/4 x 12 = 3 eggs. Since she fries a total of 12 eggs, Annie successfully fries 12-3=9 eggs without burning them.
