Help! Math help needed/

Amanda is having three friends over for tea. She is planning to make three different kinds of sandwiches, including egg salad sandwiches. How many eggs should she boil to ensure enough egg salad?

My brain hurts...

6 eggs will make enough egg salad for your "crowd" with other stuff.

Do some extra and have it for lunch.

Unless the other three guests are really hungry, I'd think 2 egg sandwiches

cut into fourths would be enough along with the other two sandwiches. The teas I've been to included four types of sandwiches...we each took 1/4 portion of each (chicken, cucumber, cream cheese on raisin, egg) and there were extras for grabs. Along with other tea goodies, that has been more than enough.

I think a 3-4 egg recipe would make more than enough.
