Question:
A grocery store sells 25 crates of peaches for a total of $125. Each crate contains 30 peaches. Rounded to the nearest cent, what is the cost, in dollars, per peach?
Answer:
The answer to the question is;
17 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question we have
Cost of 25 crates = $125
Cost of one crate = $125/25 = $5.00
However each crate contains 30 peaches therefore we have
30 peaches = $5.00
This means that each peach costs $5.00/30 = $1/6 = $0.1667
1 cent = $0.01 ∴ $0.1667 = $0.1667 ×100 cents/$ = 16.7 cents
= 17 cents
