Dad paid £7.20 for 3 dozen bolts. What would be the cost of one bolt?

1 answer

There are 12 bolts in a dozen, so there are 3 x 12 = 36 bolts in 3 dozen.

The cost of 36 bolts is £7.20.

To find the cost of one bolt, we can divide £7.20 by 36.

£7.20 ÷ 36 = £0.20

Therefore, the cost of one bolt would be £0.20.
