Similar A set of 4 eggs cost $2.75. 12 eggs will cost ___?___ - correct answer ✅First, the ratio here between 4 eggs and 12 eggs is 3, so we need to multiply $2.75 by 3.
3 X $2.75 = ?
Let's split 2.75 into 2 and 0.75.
3 X $2.75 = 3 ( 2 + 0.75 )
- x 2 is 6, but what about 0.75×3?
When you need to multiply decimals, think of it as cents in terms of money.¢75 x 3 = ¢225 ¢225 is $2.25 ¢75 x 3 = ¢225 = $2.25
3 X $2.75 = 3 ( 2 + 0.75 ) = $6 + $2.25 = $8.25
Using this method, the answer is $6 + $2.25 = $8.25 1 / 2
wonderlic test prep exam questions and answers Emma and Anna went to the market to buy 25 fruits. Emma got a few apples that cost $2 each, and Anna bought some oranges which cost $3 each. If their combined total is $60, how many oranges did Anna get? - correct answer ✅We will shortly explain the way to solve it and you will understand why it's a time trap that you better skip.First, you need to process the data in the question and put together
- equations with 2 variables.
The two variables are the number of fruits that Emma and Anna bought.For the sake of convenience, we will mark Emma`s number of fruits or units with E and Anna`s number of fruits with A.
E + A = 25
Since we know that they both bought 25 fruits, the first equation
will be:
E + A = 25
Now we will assemble the second equation:
We know that Emma paid 2$ per unit and Anna paid 3$ per unit and the total was 60$.
So the equation will be:
- x E + 3 x A = 60
- / 2
