Answer 2

This is in the wrong section, but I'll answer anyway. Your answer would be $16.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a dozen (12) eggs cost $3.84 we would have to divide 50 ÷ 12. 50 ÷ 12 = 4.16. That's the closest we can get to 50 with 12, it's 49.92. If we wanted 50 we would need a remainder of 8. We'll now divide 4.16 with $3.84, which would be $15.97. $16.05 with the added remainder. So, from what I got, your answer would be $16.05.

I hope this helped! :]
