Question

The Bakery has 10.5 dozen donuts. They sold 2/3 of the donuts. How many donuts did they sell

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are twelve items in a dozen, so the bakery has 126 donuts:
`\displaystyle 10.5 \text{ dozen donuts } * \frac{12 \text{ donuts}}{\text{dozen}} = 126 \text{ donuts}`.

If they sold two-thirds of their donuts, then they sold two-thirds of 126, or 84 donuts:
`\displaystyle 126 \text{ donuts} * (2)/(3) = 84 \text{ donuts}`.

Answer 2

7

Step-by-step explanation:

10.5 divided by 3 = 3.5 times 2 = 7

They sold 7 donuts
