Question

You place three orders for 100 soccer balls which cost $22 per ball. You receive all 300 balls. There is a delivery charge of $20 per order. What is your average cost per ball including delivery charges?

Answer 1

Average cost per ball: $22.2

Explanation:

Cost per ball: $22

Cost of 300 balls: 300 × 22 = $6600

Total No. of Orders: 3

Delivery fee per order: $20

Total Delievery fee: 20 × 3 =$60

Total cost including delivery cost: $6600 + $60 = $6660

`Average cost per ball = (Total cost)/(No. of balls)`

`Average cost per ball = (6660)/(300)`

`Average cost per ball = $22.2`
