Question

Amy raises ducks, and she takes their eggs to the farmers' market to sell. Today she collected 19 dozen green eggs and 32 dozen white ones. She sells the eggs for $5 a dozen. Amy estimates she will make about $2,500 if she sells all the eggs. Is that a good estimate?

Answer 1

Answer: No this is not a good estimate.

Explanation:

19 dozen + 32 dozen= 51 dozen

so she has 51 dozen eggs for $5 per dozen

So you multiply 51 by 5 and you get 255.

So No her estimate was over the amount she will make.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

To determine if Amy's estimate of $2,500 is a good estimate, we need to calculate the actual total revenue she would earn from selling the eggs.

First, we need to convert the number of dozens of eggs to the total number of eggs. One dozen is equal to 12 eggs, so:

- 19 dozen green eggs = 19 x 12 = 228 green eggs

- 32 dozen white eggs = 32 x 12 = 384 white eggs

The total number of eggs is:

- 228 green eggs + 384 white eggs = 612 eggs

Next, we can calculate the total revenue Amy would earn if she sells all the eggs:

- 612 eggs ÷ 12 eggs/dozen = 51 dozen eggs

- 51 dozen eggs x $5/dozen = $255

Therefore, the actual total revenue Amy would earn from selling all the eggs is $255, which is significantly less than her estimate of $2,500. Amy's estimate is not a good estimate and is over 9 times the actual revenue she would earn.
