How many dozen eggs are contained in a case?

A case of eggs typically contains 30 dozen eggs. This amount is standard in the egg distribution industry, particularly for large commercial operations. A dozen consists of 12 eggs, so calculating the total number of eggs in a case yields 30 dozen x 12 eggs per dozen, resulting in a total of 360 eggs in a case.

The other choices reflect different quantities that are not aligned with the conventional packaging used in the egg industry. For instance, while 12 dozen or 24 dozen could theoretically be viable configurations, they do not meet the standard for wholesale and commercial distribution. The industry practice of packaging eggs in cases containing 30 dozen simplifies handling, transportation, and pricing, making it the norm for suppliers and retailers alike. This standardization helps maintain consistency across the market and makes it easier for customers to understand and purchase eggs in bulk quantities.
