20 dozen would be 240 eggs

Good luck getting your goats!

My math came to that as well.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Complete math. I need 500 eggs to make up the price of the goats.

That’s a lot of eggs…

That’s a lot of eggs…

It is, & it doesn't have to be all at once which is nice.

24 Dozen × 20 Dozen = 480 eggs + 20 dozen = 500 eggs.

This won't be too hard to accomplish as my peak laying season for the birds is the summertime.

Something wrong with the labeling there? I see a bunch of things labeled "dozen" that don't make sense.

To get 500 eggs, I would use:
41 dozens and 8 single eggs, or just round up to 42 dozens

41 dozens = 492 eggs because 41 * 12 = 492
plus 8 single eggs because 492 + 8 = 500
Or 42 dozens = 504 eggs because 42 * 12 = 504

I used help from my calculator on my phone.

I was basing on 12 eggs.

The customer also gets 18 counts on occasion, but I didn't add those in because a dozen is more popular.

24, 1 dozen cartons of eggs.

20, 1 Dozen Cartons of eggs.

Sorry for the multiple quotes. I'm just trying to make it make more sense, so you can see what I did.

Did you mean 24 dozen PLUS 20 dozen, not times, in the one I first looked at? Different symbol rather than wrong word.

But if you add up all those amounts, you end up with 64 dozen eggs altogether, which makes 768 total eggs, which is more than you need.

For the operations you are showing on the calculator, you have:
24 x 20 (Probably 24 eggs per carton, times 20 cartons?)
Plus 20 more eggs (single eggs, not dozens)

That math does come out to 500, it's just that none of it involves actual dozens, since a dozen is 12. It looks like you're figuring for cartons that hold 2 dozen eggs each (24 eggs per carton.)
