Question

A grocery store donated 60 dozen hot dog rolls to the local Youth Baseball League for their Opening Day ceremonies. A total of 679 hotdogs were served. (Hint: a dozen contains 12 items) a) How many dozen rolls were used? (Express your answer in mixed number form)

Answer 1

Answer: 56.58

Explanation:

679 hotdogs sold / 12 hotdog buns in a package = 56.58

You would have had to open a total of 57 packages though

Answer 2

7 7/12

Explanation:

Find the amount of rolls in all that were donated:

60 x 12 = 720.

The total amount used is 679. Subtract 679 from 720:

720 - 629 = 91.

Find the amount per dozen. Divide 91 with 12:

91/12 = 7 7/12

7 7/12 is your answer.
