For each item, its total cost is unit-cost * no-units. So, in this case, the total cost is
6000*4 + 0.5*2050 + 5*3600 = 43025
To find the total cost of buying the items, let's calculate the cost of each item separately and then add them together.
1) Cost of buying 4 dozen exercise books:
- First, determine the cost of one exercise book by dividing the cost per dozen (sh 6000) by 12: sh 6000 / 12 = sh 500.
- Multiply the cost per exercise book (sh 500) by the total number of exercise books (4 dozen or 48 books): sh 500 * 48 = sh 24,000.
2) Cost of buying a half dozen pencils:
- First, determine the cost per pencil by dividing the cost per dozen (sh 2050) by 12: sh 2050 / 12 = sh 170.83 (rounded to two decimal places).
- Since we are buying only half a dozen of pencils, multiply the cost per pencil (sh 170.83) by 6: sh 170.83 * 6 = sh 1025.
3) Cost of buying 5 dozen rulers:
- First, determine the cost per ruler by dividing the cost per dozen (sh 3600) by 12: sh 3600 / 12 = sh 300.
- Multiply the cost per ruler (sh 300) by the total number of rulers (5 dozen or 60 rulers): sh 300 * 60 = sh 18,000.
Now, let's add up the costs of the three items:
sh 24,000 (exercise books) + sh 1,025 (pencils) + sh 18,000 (rulers) = sh 43,025.
Therefore, the total cost of buying 4 dozen exercise books, half a dozen pencils, and 5 dozen rulers is sh 43,025.
If you have similar questions, remember to break the problem down into smaller steps. Determine the cost per item, calculate the total quantity needed, and then multiply these values together to find the total cost.
