Solution

To find out how many eggs were used in the afternoon, we need to subtract the number of eggs used in the morning from the total number of eggs used in the day.

Step 1: Identify the total number of eggs used in the day. From the problem, we know that this is 591 eggs.

Step 2: Identify the number of eggs used in the morning. From the problem, we know that this is 377 eggs.

Step 3: Subtract the number of eggs used in the morning from the total number of eggs used in the day.

So, 591 (total eggs) - 377 (morning eggs) = 214 eggs.

Therefore, Jackie's employees used 214 eggs in the afternoon.
