Question

A restaurant buys 1500 eggs per week, at $1.50 per dozen. If the
cost per dozen eggs rises to $1.80, how much more will the
restaurant have to pay for eggs per week?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1500 /12=125 dozens in total.

125*1.5=187.5(if cost of each dozen is 1.5)

125*1.8=225(when cost increased to 1.8)

So,225-187.5=37.5

is the extra cost that restaurant have to pay.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here we should find how much more will the restaurant have to pay for eggs per week using egg count and the cost of the egg.

Final Answer: Restaurant have to pay $ 37.50 more for eggs per week

Step-by-step explanation:

• A restaurant buys 1500 eggs per week at $1.50 per dozen.

                           $12 eggs = 1 dozen$

                  ∴    $1500 eggs = \frac{1500}{12}=125 dozens$

           Cost of 1 dozen  $=\ 1.50$

      Cost of 125 dozens $=\ 1.50 *125$

      Cost of 125 dozens $=\ 187.5$

• Now the cost per dozen of eggs rises to $1.80. So that, now we should calculate the cost of 125 dozens.

           Cost of 1 dozen  $=\ 1.80$

      Cost of 125 dozens $=\ 1.80 *125$

      Cost of 125 dozens $=\ 225$

• Now we can calculate how much more will the restaurant have to pay for eggs per week.​ For that we should subtract $225 and $187.5.

                  $\ 225-\ 187.5 = \ 37.5$

• Final Answer: Restaurant have to pay $ 37.50 more for eggs per week
