Step-by-step explanation:
1 dozen = 12 pears
12 pears = $36
1 pear = 36/12 = $3
Total Cost of Pears = No. of pears x price of 1 pear
= (5x12) x 3
= 60 x 3
= $180
Sale of Pears = Price per pear x (Total Pears bought - Rotten Pears)
= $4.50 x (5x12-7)
= $4.50 x 53
= $238.50
Profit/Loss = Sale of Pears - Total Cost of Pears
= $238.50 - $180
= $58.50
Ariana made a profit of $58.50.
Answer:
4/6 is more than 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set the denominators of the fractions equal to eachother to make it easier to compare. mulitiply 6 and 4 by 2 so that the denominator now equals 12, and you have the new fractions 5/12 and 8/12. Since 8/12 is more than 5/12, 4/6 is more than 5/12.
