let
each girl paints x number of eggs
y= total no. of eggs
> 60x = y ...(1)
> when 3 girls leave the group no. of girls left = 57 therefore they paint 57x eggs but when each one of them paint 8 more each it is equal to y
> 57x + 57*8 = y ...(2)
therefore from (1)&(2) we get
60x= 57x + 57*8
therefore x= 152
therefore total no of eggs = 60*152 = 9,120
