Answer 1

Given:

It takes 6 eggs, 5 oz of cheese, and 2 oz of butter to make two

omelets

Eggs cost per dozen = $0.99

So, the cost of 6 eggs = 0.99/2 = 0.495

1 lb of cheese costs $4.29

1 lb = 16 oz

So, the cost of 5 oz =

`(5)/(16)\cdot4.29=1.34`

1/2 lb of butter costs $1.25

So, the cost of 2 oz =

`(2)/(8)\cdot1.25=0.3125`

So, the cost of two omelets = 0.495+1.34+0.3125 = 2.1475

So, the cost of one omelet = 2.1475/2 ≈ 1.08

So, the answer will be option c. $1.08
