Malia Stewart bought some doughnuts for $19.32. The cost of each doughnut was $.69. How many doughnuts more than two dozen did she buy? (Remember 1 doz. = 12 things.)
PLEASE help me!
19.32/.69 = 28
So she bought 2 dozen and 4 more.
To find out how many doughnuts Malia Stewart bought more than two dozen, we first need to calculate how many doughnuts are in two dozen.
Given that one dozen is equal to 12 things, two dozen would be equal to 2 multiplied by 12, which comes out to 24 doughnuts.
Next, we need to determine how many doughnuts Malia Stewart bought in total. We know that the cost of each doughnut was $0.69, and the total cost of all the doughnuts was $19.32.
To find the total number of doughnuts, we will divide the total cost by the cost of each doughnut: $19.32 / $0.69.
Dividing $19.32 by $0.69 gives us approximately 28, which means Malia Stewart bought a total of 28 doughnuts.
Finally, to find out how many doughnuts more than two dozen she bought, we will subtract two dozen (24) from the total number of doughnuts (28): 28 - 24 = 4.
Therefore, Malia Stewart bought 4 doughnuts more than two dozen.
