Question

Troy spends $9.75 on chicken feed

each week. He has 48 chickens and
each chicken lays one egg a day. At
the end of the week, Troy keeps one
dozen eggs for himself and sells the
rest at the farmer's market for $4.00 a
dozen. What is Troy's weekly profit?
A $98.25
B $102.25
© $112
D $192

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Total eggs in lay in one week = 48 * 7 = 336

total eggs sold = 336 - 12 = 324

Total dozen = 324 : 12 = 27

Total profit = 27 * 4 = $108

Profit without chicken feed = 108 - 9.75 = $98.25
