What we know: A dozen costs 1.32; there are 12 in a dozen.
What we need to know: How much a restaurant makes selling 1 egg at 0.99.
First, find the value of one egg; you can do that by dividing the total cost (1.32) by the amount (12):
1.32 / 12 = 0.11 <-- The cost per egg is 11 cents. To find the profit of the restaurant, just subtract the cost from the price they sell it for:
0.99 - 0.11 = 0.88 <-- The profit the restaurant makes per egg is 88 cents.
Hope this helps.
Sorry, misunderstood question, answer beneath me much better.
Let's see.
4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x
First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15
Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15
With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 18x
10 = 9x
X= 10/9
