The problem provided asks how much the eggs would cost to make 18 pancakes, based on the following dataThe problem provided asks how much the eggs would cost to make 18 pancakes, based on the following 

- A dozen (12) eggs cost $1.29.
- For every dozen pancakes, 2 eggs are required.
- The goal is to determine the cost of the eggs needed to make 18 pancakes.

### Steps to solve:

1. **Calculate the number of eggs needed**:
   - For every 12 pancakes, 2 eggs are required.
   - The number of eggs needed to make 18 pancakes:
   \[
   \text{Eggs needed} = \frac{18 \, \text{pancakes}}{12 \, \text{pancakes/dozen}} \times 2 \, \text{eggs} = 3 \, \text{eggs}
   \]

2. **Find the cost of one egg**:
   - A dozen (12) eggs cost $1.29, so the cost of one egg is:
   \[
   \text{Cost per egg} = \frac{1.29}{12} = 0.1075 \, \text{dollars/egg}
   \]

3. **Calculate the total cost for 3 eggs**:
   \[
   \text{Total cost} = 3 \times 0.1075 = 0.3225 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

4. **Round to the nearest cent**:
   \[
   \text{Rounded cost} = 0.32 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

Thus, the cost of eggs for 18 pancakes is **$0.32**.

Would you like further clarification or more details on any part? Here are five related questions to explore:

1. How would the cost change if the price of eggs increases to $1.50 per dozen?
2. What if you wanted to make 24 pancakes? How many eggs and what cost would you calculate?
3. If the recipe also required 1 cup of milk per 12 pancakes, how would you calculate the total cost if milk costs $3.00 per gallon (16 cups)?
4. How does the number of eggs scale if you need to make 36 pancakes?
5. What if a dozen eggs cost $2.00 instead of $1.29? How does that affect the cost per egg?

**Tip**: When scaling recipes, always keep ratios in mind to ensure accurate ingredient quantities.

A dozen of eggs costs $1.29. For every dozen pancakes you need 2 eggs; How much would the eggs cost you in order to make 18 pancakes?
