Question

Evarado paid $1.12 for a dozen eggs at his local grocery store.  Determine the cost of 3 eggs

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of 3 eggs is $0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Evarado paid $1.12 for a dozen eggs at his local grocery store.  

To Find : Determine the cost of 3 eggs

Solution :

1 dozen = 12 eggs

Evarado paid $1.12 for a dozen eggs

So, Cost of 12 eggs = $1.12

Cost of 1 egg = $\frac{1.12}{12}$

Cost of 3 eggs = $\frac{1.12}{12} \times 3$

Cost of 3 eggs = $0.28$

Hence the cost of 3 eggs is $0.28

Answer 2

First you have to find out the cost for a single egg.

Since there are a dozen (12) eggs, you can divide the total cost by that.
1.12/12 ≈ 0.09.

Using the base cost of an egg, you can find out how much 3 eggs would cost.

0.09 x 3 = $0.27
