Answer 1

hello

from the table given, we can establish a relationship bewteen the number of dozens to the cost in dollars

if 2 dozens costs $17

8 dozens costs x

cross multiply and solve for x

$\begin{gathered} 2\text{ =17} \\ 8=x \\ 2x=8\times17 \\ 2x=136 \\ x=68 \end{gathered}$

what i did above was test if the relationship is correct

now let's find for 24 dozens

if 2 dozens = $17

24 dozen = ?

$\begin{gathered} 2dz=17 \\ 24dz=x \\ 2x=17\times24 \\ 2x=408 \\ x=\frac{408}{2} \\ x=204 \end{gathered}$

24 dozens of muffins would cost $204
