Johnny paid $1.62 for a carton of 18 eggs at the grocery store. Determine the cost of 3 eggs

Question

First I've tried Dividing and Multipling

 

Answer 1

Hi Keylee;

Let's first establish the cost of one egg.

$1.62/18

$0.09

Let's multiply this by 3...

($0.09)(3)=$0.27

Three eggs cost 27-cents.
