Answer:
[tex]T=4C[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that [tex]T[/tex] represents the total number of eggs and [tex]C[/tex] represents the number of chickens.
According to the problem, this magnitudes are proportional that means
[tex]T=kC[/tex]
Where [tex]k[/tex] represents the constant of proportionality.
However, the problem states that each chicken laid the same number of eggs, 4. This means, the constant of proportionality is 4, that is [tex]k=4[/tex].
Therefore, the equation that could be used to the total number of eggs collected from the cop is
[tex]T=4C[/tex]
In words, the total number of eggs collected is 4 per chicken.
