Step-by-step explanation:

Correct Question:

After collecting eggs from his chickens, Dale puts the eggs into cartons to sell. Dale fills 15 cartons and has 7 eggs left over. Each carton holds 12 eggs. How many eggs did Dale collect?

Dale filled up each carton with 12 eggs (that's the full capacity.

Dale filled up 15 full cartons.

So, the eggs he collected in carton:

15 * 12 = 180 eggs

He still had 7 left over, so total number of eggs that Dale collected is:

180 + 7 = 187 eggs
