See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing a real world problem

The cost of a pack of candle and a dozen of eggs is $12.5 and $11.3 respectively. If Ridwan intends to buy 2 dozen eggs and half pack of a candle, what should be Ridwan's budget.

Next; is to solve the above problem

We continue by listing out the given parameters

A pack of candle = $12.5

A dozen of egg = $11.3

Required

What is the cost of 2 dozen egg and half pack of candle?

We start by calculating the cost of 2 dozen egg

$Cost = 2 * 1\ dozen\ egg$

$Cost = 2 * \ 11.3$

$Cost = \ 22.6$

Then, we calculate the cost of half pack of Candle

$Cost = \frac{1}{2} * 1\ pack\ of\ candle$

$Cost = \frac{1}{2} * \ 12.5$

$Cost = \ 6.25$

Lastly, we add up the two costs;

$Total = \ 22.6 + \ 6.25$

$Total = \ 28.85$
