Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf \$144}`

Explanation:

1 dozen = 12 pieces

So, 3 dozen candies = 3 × 12

3 dozen candies = 36 candies

Solution:

Given that,

9 candies = $36

Using unitary method

• Divide both sides by 9

1 candy = $36/9

1 candy = $4

• Now, multiply both sides by 36

36 candies = $4 × 36

36 candies = $144
