Answer:

50 eggs would cost 16$

Explanation:

A dozen eggs is 12. So for 4 dozen eggs, you get 48. 48 eggs is 15.36$. If you divide the 3.84 to 12, you will get the individual price for each egg. The individual price for each egg is .32 cents. You need to add 2 more eggs to the 4 dozen to get 50 eggs. You times .32 to 2 and you get .64. After that you add .64 to the price of the 4 dozen eggs and you will get 16$

Simple version:

dozen eggs =12, cost 3.84$

4 dozen eggs= 48, cost 15.36$

3.84$ divided by 12 = .32 cents (price of the individual egg)

Add two of the individual eggs together and add it to 15.36$
