If 7 3/4 dozen 1/2" connector fittings cost $31.00, what is the cost per dozen?
To find the cost per dozen, we need to calculate the total cost of 1 dozen connector fittings.
First, we need to convert 7 3/4 dozen into a mixed number:
7 3/4 dozen = 7 + 3/4 = 7 12/4 + 3/4 = 7 15/4 dozen
Next, we need to find the cost for 15/4 dozen connector fittings.
If 7 3/4 dozen 1/2" connector fittings cost $31.00, we can set up a proportion to find the cost for 1 dozen:
(7 3/4 dozen) / ($31.00) = (1 dozen) / (x)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
(7 3/4 dozen) * (x) = ($31.00) * (1 dozen)
Multiplying both sides, we have:
(31/4)x = 31
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 31/4:
x = 31 / (31/4)
Which simplifies to:
x = 31 * (4/31)
x = 4
Therefore, the cost per dozen is $4.00.
To find the cost per dozen, we need to determine the cost of 1 dozen connector fittings.
First, let's convert 7 3/4 dozen into a mixed number.
To do this, we multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator of the fraction (4) and add the numerator (3). This gives us 7 * 4 + 3 = 28 + 3 = 31.
So, 7 3/4 dozen is equal to 31 dozen connector fittings.
Now, we can calculate the cost per dozen by dividing the total cost ($31.00) by the number of dozen connector fittings (31 dozen).
The equation would be: Cost per dozen = Total cost / Number of dozen.
So, Cost per dozen = $31.00 / 31 dozen = $1.00 per dozen.
Therefore, the cost per dozen of the connector fittings is $1.00.
Well, let's do some math, but I'll try to keep it amusing for you!
So, we have 7 3/4 dozen 1/2" connector fittings. But you know, using fractions is just being fancy, so let's make it simple and convert it to 93/4 dozen.
Now, if 93/4 dozen connector fittings cost $31.00, we can find the cost per dozen by dividing the total cost by the number of dozens. And to make it even more straightforward, let's convert 93/4 back to decimal form, which is 9.25.
Now, let's do the math: $31.00 ÷ 9.25 = $3.35 per dozen.
So, the cost per dozen is $3.35! You can now connect your pipes without being too hard on your wallet.
