If 2dozen eggs and 3kg of butter cost$23.60. If the dozen eggs increase in
cost by 25% and the !kg of butter decrease in price by 12.5%.
Find the cost of ! dozen eggs and !kg of butter.
:
There is no way of knowing the original cost of the eggs and butter:
:
The best you can do is find the average cost of each of the five items:
%28%282e+%2B+3b%29%29%2F5 = 23.60%2F5
%28%282e+%2B+3b%29%29%2F5 = 4.72
:
1.25(4.72) + .875(4.72) =
5.90 + 4.13 = $10.03 for 1 doz eggs and 1 kg of butter after the price changes
