A store gets a bucket of eggs for $16.20 and sells a dozen eggs for $3.50. If there are 450 eggs in the bucket, by what percent has the store increased the price per dozen eggs?

Respuesta :

Answer:

710%

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bucket of eggs is charged at $16.20 for 450 eggs.

1 dozen = 12

450 = 450/12 = 37.5

The store pays ($16.20/37.5 doz)=$0.432/doz

The store charges ($3.50-0.432) $3.068 more per dozen than they paid.

($3.068/$0.432)(100%) = 710%

Answer:

The correct answer is 710.185%
