A contractor purchases 3 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for $40.68. incorrectly calculates the unit price as $13.56 per pair for the expense report. What is the correct unit price? What is the error?

Answer

$1.13 per pair.

Step-by-step explanation

There are 12 gloves in a dozen, so if you buy 3 dozen pairs you would have 36 pairs of gloves. To find what each pair costs you want to divide $40.68 by $13.56 giving you $1.13 dollars per pair. The problem was, the contractor just divided $40.68 by 3 since there was 3 dozen gloves, not counting all the pairs in total.

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300

(23*2)-12=x     x=34
