Question

A bucket of chicken had 12 pieces and cost $9.48. After 3pm it was on sale for $0.10 off per piece. What was the sale price per piece of chicken?

Answer 1

The sale price per piece of chicken was $0.69

Explanation:

• We have to first calculate the price of 1 piece of chicken when 12 pieces cost $9.48.

Original price per piece = $9.48 ÷ 12

= $0.79

• According to the question the price per piece decreased by $0.10 during the sale.

∴ Sale price per piece = $0.79 - $0.10

= $0.69
