Question

A contractor purchases 3 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for ​$43.56 incorrectly calculates the unit price as ​$14.52 per pair for the expense report. What is the correct unit​ price?What is the​ error?

Answer 1

Answer: I think the answer is $1.21

Step-by-step explanation: Instead of 3 pairs it says 3 dozen. A dozen is 12.

3 x 12 = 36

Then you should do 43.56 / 36

For one pair of gloves it should be $1.21

The contractor got $14.52 because he did a dozen (12) divided by 43.56.

I hope that helps! ^^
