Month Average Price per Dozen

April $1.26

may $1.20

june $1.08

The table above shows the average (arithmetic mean) price per dozen of the large grade A eggs sold in a certain store during three successive months. If as many dozen were sold in April as in May, and twice as many were sold in June as in April, what was the average price per dozen of the eggs sold over the three-month period?

(A) $1.08

(B) $1.10

(C) $1.14

(D) $1.16

(E) $1.18

Just pick the number sold in April and the rest falls into place. 1 dozen sold in April is the easiest to calculate.

1 dozen in April
1 dozen in May
2 dozens in June

1.26 + 1.20 + 1.08*2 = 4.62

4.62/4 dozens = 1.155 or 1.16 per dozen
