Question

The grocery store carries 87 different varieties of baby food. A dozen of the mothers want to try each of the varieties. How many containers of baby food will be purchased by these mothers?

A. 1,034 containers
B. 1,044 containers
C. 268 containers
D. 261 containers

Answer 1

We have 12 Mothers and 87 different Varieties, and each mother wants to try every variety, so this is simply 12×87 I think the word dozen gets a lot of people confused, just think a dozen of eggs you have 12 eggs

$12 \times 87 = 1044 \: containers in total$
