Eggs cost 90 cents a dozen. Peppers cost 20 cents each An omelette consist of 3 eggs and a quarter pepper what is the cost of ingredients for 8 omelets SHOW ALL WORKING
cost= 8(1/4*.90+ 1/4*.20)
To calculate the cost of the ingredients for 8 omelettes, we first need to find the cost of each ingredient separately.
1) Eggs cost 90 cents a dozen, so the cost of one egg can be found by dividing the cost of a dozen by 12:
Cost of one egg = 90 cents / 12 = 7.5 cents
2) Peppers cost 20 cents each.
Now, let's calculate the cost of the ingredients for one omelette:
- 3 eggs = 3 * 7.5 cents = 22.5 cents
- 1/4 pepper = 1/4 * 20 cents = 5 cents
The total cost of one omelette is the sum of the costs of the eggs and peppers:
Total cost of one omelette = 22.5 cents + 5 cents = 27.5 cents
Finally, to find the cost of the ingredients for 8 omelettes, we multiply the cost of one omelette by 8:
Total cost of 8 omelettes = 27.5 cents * 8 = 220 cents = $2.20
Therefore, the cost of the ingredients for 8 omelettes is $2.20.
