Answer:

44 small cartoon

176 medium cartoon

44 large cartoon

eggs needed = 3256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

small cartoons holds 8 eggs

number of small cartoons   = 1/6 * 264

                                               = 44

medium cartoons holds 12 eggs

number of medium cartoons  = 2/3 * 264

                                                   = 176

large cartoons holds 18 eggs

number of large cartoons  = (1 - (1/6+2/3) )* 264

                                              = 44

Number of eggs needed to fill the 264 cartons are sum of number of cartoons  into number of eggs in each cartoons

44(8) + 176(12) + 44(18)

= 352 + 2112 + 792

= 3256
