Question

Demetrius bought a dozen juice boxes for 40 cents each. What was the total cost of the juice boxes?

Answer 1

`480` cents = `$4.80`

Explanation:

A dozen is `12`. so he bought `12` juice boxes.

cost for one juice box `color(white)(xxxx) = 40` cents
number of boxes bought `" "=12`
therefore total cost `color(white)(xxxxxx)= 40xx12 = 480` cents.

Answer 2

`480c or $4.80`

Explanation:

This is because a dozen means `12` and from that, you can go:

If one juice box costs `40` cents, then to find `12`:

we do `12 xx 40` which gives us `480c` which is the same as `$4.80`
