Roberto is raising chickens for eggs. He buys 4 chickens for $20 each. They cost $1 in total a week to feed and each produces 3 eggs a week that will last forever. He used to buy 1 dozen eggs a week and spent $2 per dozen. After how many weeks will the chickens be cheaper than buying his eggs?
How much do the chickens cost? ** The chickens cost $80 because 4 x 20 = <<4*20=80>>80
How many eggs do the chickens produce? ** His chickens produce a dozen eggs a week because 4 x 3 = <<4*3=12>>12
How much is each week cheaper than buying eggs? ** Each week that he has chickens is $1 cheaper than buying eggs because 2 - 1 = <<2-1=1>>1
How many weeks will the chickens be paid off? ** After 80 weeks his chickens will be paid off because 80 / 1 = <<80/1=80>>80
How many weeks will the chickens be cheaper than buying eggs? ** After 81 weeks the chickens will be cheaper than buying eggs because 80 + 1 = <<80+1=81>>81
