To find the total price of one dozen apples that cost 25 cents each, you would multiply the cost of one apple by the total number of apples in a dozen. In this case, 25 cents multiplied by 12 apples equals $3. Therefore, the total price of one dozen apples that cost 25 cents each is $3.
35 cents/12 = 2.927 cents each bought at selling at ( 10/3) 3.333 cents 3.333 cents - 2.927 cents = 0.406 cents profit per pencil 0.406 cents * 66 pencils = 26.796 cents ( call it 27 cents profit on a sale of 66 pencils )
First, we need to restate the problem as thus: For every 70 cents, one can buy 72 pencils (equal to 6 dozen pencils). Thus, for every x cents, one can buy 3 pencils. In numerical form, this equation turns into $0.70/72 pencils = $x/3 pencils, or 0.70/72 = x/3. Simplified, one gets (3)(0.70) = 72x, or 2.1 = 72x. Hence, x=2.1/72=0.029, or $0.03, or 3 cents. So 3 pencils actually cost 3 cents. If one were to sell 3 pencils for 20 cents, one would have a profit of 17 cents for 3 pencils.
part / total For example, if you have 20 (total) apples, and eat 5 (part) apples, then you would divide 5 (part) / 20 (total) and you would get 25% of the total amount were eaten

The numerator is how much of the denominator. For example, if you have 3 green apples and 2 red apples, the total amount of apples is the denominator, 5. so, 3/5 of the apples are green, and 2/5 of the apples are red.

That's easy :) 12
Well, isn't that just a happy little question? If each apple is 25 cents, and you have 9 apples, you can find the total by multiplying 25 cents by 9. So, 25 cents times 9 is $2.25. Just imagine all the lovely apple pies or paintings you could create with those 9 apples!
x/b gives the cost per apple that answer times y will give the answer
You will save 2 cents per can and 24 cents total.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Let's start by finding the total cost of 2 dozen erasers. Since a dozen is 12, 2 dozen is 24 erasers. If each eraser costs 50 cents, the total cost before tax is 24 erasers x $0.50 = $12. Now, to find the total cost including tax, we need to add the 8% tax. So, the total cost including tax would be $12 + ($12 x 0.08) = $12 + $0.96 = $12.96.
The total cost of Marilyn's shopping trip for apples, carrots, and avocados is $15.38.
35 cents/12 = 2.927 cents each bought at selling at ( 10/3) 3.333 cents 3.333 cents - 2.927 cents = 0.406 cents profit per pencil 0.406 cents * 66 pencils = 26.796 cents ( call it 27 cents profit on a sale of 66 pencils )

Well, honey, if an apple costs c cents, that means it costs c/100 dollars. So, if you have d dollars, you can buy d/(c/100) apples. Just divide the total dollars by the cost of each apple in dollars to get the number of apples you can buy. Math doesn't have to be a pain in the tush, darling!
