Answer 1

To determine the cost per muffin, we first need to calculate how many muffins we have. Since three dozen muffins is equal to 3 × 12 = 36 muffins, we then divide the total cost by the number of muffins.

The correct process to solve this problem is:

9 ÷ 36

However, from the given responses, the appropriate choice to calculate this would be:

9 ÷ (3 × 12) (9 divided by open paren 3 times 12 close paren)

Question 2:

Now, calculate the cost per muffin:

1. \( 36 \) muffins in total.
2. Total cost is \( 9 \) dollars.

Cost per muffin = \( 9 \div 36 = 0.25 \) dollars.

Thus, the cost per muffin is:

$0.25 per muffin.
