A contractor purchases 7 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for $103.32. He incorrectly calculates the unit price at $14.76 per pair for the expense report. What is the correct unit price? Why is the contractor's unit price incorrect?

Respuesta :

1 dozen = 12 units
7 dozen = 12 × 7 = 84 units
Correct unit price = 103.32 ÷ 84 = $1.23

The contractor's unit price incorrect because he did 103.32 ÷ 7 dozen.
The price he calculated is for the price for 1 dozen, not 1 unit
