Question

Maha is going to keep six hens. One hen, on average, will produce five eggs every week. There are 52 weeks in one year. Maha is going to sell all the eggs her produce for $1.25 for six eggs. How much money should maha make from selling the eggs in one year?

Answer 1

$54.17

Explanation:

52 x 5 = 260

260 ÷ 6 = 43.33

43.33 x 1.25 = 54.17

Answer 2

Answer: $325

Explanation:

one hen will give you 5 eggs a week so 6 hens will give you 30 eggs ( 5 ×6 ) a week. There are 52 weeks in one year so 30 ×52 will = 1560 and thats how many eggs she will have in a year. then if maha is going to sell eggs in packs of 6 eggs she will be able to sell ( 1560 ÷ 6) 260 packs. Since she wants to sell each pack for $1.25 she will be able to make ( 1.25× 260 ) $325 in one year from selling eggs.
