Exciting Chicken Feed Calculation!

How much does Linda spend on chicken feed for every 12 eggs?

Given data: Linda has 140 chickens, each laying 6 eggs per week, and requires 100g of chicken feed per day.

Calculation for the cost of chicken feed:

Based on the provided information, we will determine the cost of chicken feed for every 12 eggs produced by Linda's chickens.

In order to calculate the cost of chicken feed for every 12 eggs, we first need to determine the total number of eggs laid by Linda's 140 chickens per week. Since each chicken lays 6 eggs a week, the total number of eggs laid is 140 * 6 = 840 eggs per week.

Next, we need to find out how much chicken feed Linda's chickens consume. Each chicken is given 100g of chicken feed per day, which means they consume 700g of feed per week (100g * 7 days = 700g). Converting this to kilograms, we get 0.7 kg of feed per chicken per week.

Since Linda has 140 chickens, the total weekly consumption of feed is 140 * 0.7 = 98 kg. As each bag of chicken feed weighs 25 kg and costs £6.75, we need to find out how many bags are required each week. By dividing the total feed consumption by the weight of each bag, we get 98 kg / 25 kg = 3.92 bags per week.

Finally, to determine the cost of the chicken feed for every 12 eggs, we multiply the cost of feed per bag (£6.75) by the number of bags needed for 12 eggs, which is 3.92 * £6.75 = £25.14. Therefore, Linda spends £25.14 on chicken feed for every 12 eggs produced by her chickens.
