Question

Keri orders 4 1/2 dozen cupcakes for her graduation party. If each dozen costs $7.28, what is her total bill before tax?

$11.78
$16.18
$30.58
$32.76

Answer 1

$32.76

Explanation:

1 dozen = 12

1/2 dozen = 6

4 x $7.28 = $29.12

then half of $7.28 is $3.64

so, then you add the two sums

$29.12 + $3.64 = $32.76

those are expensive cupcakes ;) i hope this helped! i know this is a complicated way to do it, but, its more explanatory.

Answer 2

7.28 x 4.5 = $32.76
