Question

A bakery sells one cupcake for $2.75 or a dozen cupcakes for $25.80. If you

purchase a dozen cupcakes, how much do you save on each cupcake?
A $23.05
B $3.75
C $2.15
D $0.60

please help !!

Answer 1

D $0.60

Explanation:

Since a dozen is equal to 12, we will first multiply $2.75 by 12, and we get $33. Now subtract $33 by $25.80 dollars, which is $7.2. Now we know that we saved $7.2 out of a dozen cupcake's, but we have to find how much we saved on each cupcake. So lets divide $7.2 by 12 and we get $0.60. Therefore, you saved $0.60 on each cupcake.
