Question

A flower shop sells a bouquet of two dozen roses for $29.95.What is the average price per rose in a two dozen rose bouquet, to the nearest $0.01?

Answer 1

ANSWER

The average price per rose is $1.25

EXPLANATION

The flower shop sells two dozen roses for $29.95

One dozen is made up of 12, so two dozens is 24.

So, 24 roses go for $29.95.

To find the average, we have to divide the total cost of the roses by the number of roses bought.

That is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Average price per rose = }\frac{29.95}{24} \\ \text{APPR = \ 1.25} \end{gathered}$

The average price per rose is $1.25.
