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
