Answer

30 eggs30~\text{eggs}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Recognize that 1 dozen =12= 12 eggs.

  2. 2 dozen =2×12=24= 2 \times 12 = 24 eggs.

    2×12=24 eggs\begin{align*} &2 \times 12 \\ &= 24~\text{eggs} \end{align*}
  3. 12\frac{1}{2} dozen =12×12=6= \frac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6 eggs.

    12×12=6 eggs\begin{align*} &\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \\ &= 6~\text{eggs} \end{align*}
  4. Total eggs =24= 24 eggs ++ 6 eggs =30= 30 eggs.

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

    30 eggs\boxed{30~\text{eggs}}
