The cost of half-a-dozeon dozen candies for this case will be $3.6
How much a dozen consists of ?
A dozen of a thing means 12 of such thing is in consideration. If we say we have a dozen pencils, then twe mean we have 12 pencils.
For this case, it is given that:
- Cost of a dozen dozen candies = half a dozen dimes a dozen
- Cost of a half a dozen dozen candies = ? (to find)
A dozen contains 12 quantities.
A dozen dozen candies means 12 times 12 = 144 candies
half a dozen dimes dozen cost = (12/2) × 12 dimes = 72 dimes
That means:
144 candies cost 72 dimes.
Dividing both quantities by 144 to get price of 1 candy:
144/144 = 1 candy's price = 72/144 dimes = 0.5 dimes = 0.05 dollars (1 dime = 0.1 dollars)
Half a dozen times dozen candies = 72 candies
1 candy costs 0.05 dollars
72 candies cost [tex]72 \times 0.05 = 3.6[/tex] dollars.
Thus, the cost of half-a-dozeon dozen candies for this case will be $3.6
