Nikki used the calculations shown to determine whether a carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton o

f 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39. Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy. What was her first error?

Given :

A carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton of 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39. Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy.

To Find :

What was her first error.

Solution :

Her first error is to find Unit price of egg in each carton.

To find, unit price we should divide total amount by number of units :

Unit price for carton of 12 eggs, $ (2.39)/12 = $0.199 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find the next two terms of the sequence. 2, 6, 10, 14, ... (1 point)
Naddik [55]
The sequence given is 2, 6, 10, 14
Noticing this sequence, we will find that the sequence increases by 4 each time. This means that:
The next number = the current number + 4

In other words:
2
2+4 = 6
6+4 = 10
10+4 = 14
14+4 = 18

Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 18
