Answer:

= $0.8047

Step-by-step explanation:

A dozen of toy will contain 12 toys

therefore 3 dozen of toy will contain 36 toys

now, total cost of these 36 toys are $28.97

Therefore cost of each toy = total cost of toys/ number of toys

= $\frac{28.97}{36}$

= $0.8047

this will be the cost of each toy

Answer: $price\ of\ each\ toy\approx\$1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that Mrs. Huynh bought a bag of 3 dozen toy animals. The total number of animals in the bag is:

$3*12=36$

The cost of the bag was $28.97, so you must divide 36 by $28.97 in order to know the price of each toy animal.

To estimate this quotient, the first round the numbers so that they are easier to work with.

We can say that:

$28.97\approx30\\\\36\approx30$

Then:

$30\div30\approx1$

Therefore, you can estimate that the price of each toy animal is:

$price\ of\ each\ toy\approx\$1$
