The price of a dozen eggs was $1.63. The price rose m dollars. Then the price dropped $.12 per dozen. Express the current price of eggs after the two price changes. A) m + .51 B) m + 1.51 C) m + 1.63 D) m + 1.75
It is B because 1.63-0.12 equals 1.51 and it rose m so it will be M+1.51
we know that
case 1) The price of a dozen eggs was \(\$1.63\)
In this moment the original price of a dozen eggs is \(\$1.63\)
case 2) The price rose \(\$m\)
In this moment the new price of a dozen eggs is \(\$1.63+\$m\)
case 3) The price dropped \(\$0.12\) per dozen
The final price of a dozen eggs is
\(\$1.63+\$m-\$0.12\)------>\(\$1.51+\$m\)
therefore
the answer is
\(m+1.51\)
