Artichokes were on sale. Five of them cost $1. At this rate, what would be the price for a dozen artichokes?
Group of answer choices

$2.52

$2.50

$2.40

Answer 1

$2.40

Explanation:

as five of artichokes caused $1, a dozen is the same number as 12, so use cross multiply and you will get the answer $2.40

cross multiply : 5 artichokes = $1

12 artichokes = x

5x = $1 x $12

5x = $12

x = 12/5

x = $2.40
