Question

A dozen farm fresh eggs cost $3.24. What is the cost of 1 egg?

Answer 1

The price of one egg would be 0.27 cents.

Answer 2

If the price of a dozen eggs (12 eggs) is $3.24, in order to find the price of one egg, we can use a rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} 12\text{ eggs}\to3.24 \\ 1\text{ egg}\to x \\ \\ (12)/(1)=(3.24)/(x) \\ 12x=3.24 \\ x=(3.24)/(12)=0.27 \end{gathered}`

So the price of one egg is $0.27
