www Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 This looks like a simple one, but I couldn't figure it out at all. Any ideas? Thanks. the average price per dozen eggs sold in a store for the last three months is: April $1.26 May $1.20 June $1.08 If 2/3 as many dozen were sold in April as in May, and twice as many were sold in June as in April, what was the average price per dozen of the eggs sold over the three-month period?

deren Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 2/3 as many dozen were sold in April as in May, and twice as many were sold in June as in April means ; M 4\3 = 2A = J so that we plug in numbers; A = 2, M = 3, J = 4 and now we can write our equation; (2X 1.26 + 3X 1.20 + 4X1.08 )\ (2+3+4) = 1.16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
