Answer

$30~\text{eggs}$

Step 1: Recognize that $1$ dozen $= 12$ eggs.

Step 2: $2$ dozen $= 2 \times 12 = 24$ eggs.

\begin{align*} &2 \times 12 \\ &= 24~eggs \end{align*}

Step 3: $\frac{1}{2}$ dozen $= \frac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6$ eggs.

\begin{align*} &\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \\ &= 6~eggs \end{align*}

Step 4: Total eggs $= 24$ eggs $+$ $6$ eggs $= 30$ eggs.

\begin{align*} &24~eggs + 6~eggs \\ &= 30~eggs \end{align*}

$\boxed{30~eggs}$
