Question

A flower shop sells a bouquet of two dozen roses for $29.95.What is the average price per rose in a two dozen rose bouquet, to the nearest $0.01?

Answer 1

The average price per rose is $1.25

Step-by-step explanation

The flower shop sells two dozen roses for $29.95

One dozen is made up of 12, so two dozens is 24.

So, 24 roses go for $29.95.

To find the average, we have to divide the total cost of the roses by the number of roses bought.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Average price per rose = }(29.95)/(24) \\ \text{APPR = \$1.25} \end{gathered}`

The average price per rose is $1.25.
