Question

If 5 dozen oranges cost $50.00, find the cost of 8 dozen oranges.
A 845
B$40
$66
$80

Answer 1

D. $80
because
$50 divided by 5 equals 10
So that means
$10 per orange
So $10 x 8 = $80

Answer 2

Answer:

D. $80

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation you need to find the price per orange.

1. Do 50 divided by 60. This will get you the price per orange. I got 60 oranges because one dozen oranges = 12 oranges. since there is 5 dozen, just do 5*12= 60 $\frac{50}{60} = 0.8333333333$

Price of each orange: 0.83

2. To find how many oranges there are in an 8 dozen oranges do 8*12 = 96 oranges. Now multiply the price of each orange by 96.

Multiply 96 * 0.8333333333 = $80
