Answer :
First you have to find out the cost for a single egg.
Since there are a dozen (12) eggs, you can divide the total cost by that.
1.12/12 ≈ 0.09.
Using the base cost of an egg, you can find out how much 3 eggs would cost.
0.09 x 3 = $0.27

Answer:
The cost of 3 eggs is $0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Evarado paid $1.12 for a dozen eggs at his local grocery store.
To Find : Determine the cost of 3 eggs
Solution :
1 dozen = 12 eggs
Evarado paid $1.12 for a dozen eggs
So, Cost of 12 eggs = $1.12
Cost of 1 egg = [tex]\frac{1.12}{12}[/tex]
Cost of 3 eggs = [tex]\frac{1.12}{12} \times 3[/tex]
Cost of 3 eggs = [tex]0.28[/tex]
Hence the cost of 3 eggs is $0.28
