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?

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

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
