Question

The table below shows the price of rolls at a bakery. A baker's dozen includes 13 rolis for the price of a dozen rolls. How much money is saved by buying a baker's dozen instead of 13 individual rolls?Number of rolls Price($)6 3.608 4.80

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of money saved = $0.6

Explanations:

There are 12 rolls in 1 dozen

6 rolls = $3.60

1 roll = 3.60 / 6

1 roll = $0.6

13 rolls = 0.6 x 13

13 rolls = $7.8

The price of a dozen rolls = 0.6 x 12

The price of a dozen rolls = $7.2

This means that if she had paid for 13 individual rolls, she would have paid $7.8

But she was given a bakers's dozen (consisting of 13 rolls) at the price of a dozen rolls ($7.2).

The amount of money saved = $7.8 - $7.2

The amount of money saved = $0.6
