Step-by-step explanation:

The Chef bought he had 8 cartons with 36 eggs in each carton. This means that the total number of eggs that the Chef bought is

36 * 8 = 288 eggs

He uses 2/5 for Fridays breakfast. This means that the number of eggs that he used on Friday is

2/5 * 8 = 16/5 cartons

The remaining number of cartons would be

8 - 16/5 = 24/5 cartons

He used 3/8 of the remaining for Saturdays breakfast. This means that the number of eggs that he used on Saturday is

3/8 * 24/5 = 9/5 cartons

Total number of cartons that he used is

16/5 + 9/5 = 25/5 = 5 cartons

Since one carton contains 36 eggs, then the total number of eggs that the Chef used is

5 * 36 = 180 eggs
