Praxis 5003 Practice Test Practice Question
On a Web site, one dozen bowling balls cost $246.00. At this rate, what is the price of 5 bowling balls of the same type?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the price of 5 bowling balls, first calculate the price per ball by dividing the total cost of one dozen (12 balls) by 12. This gives $246.00 / 12 = $20.50 per ball. To find the cost of 5 balls, multiply the price per ball by 5: $20.50 x 5 = $102.50.
Option A ($20.50) represents the price of one ball, not five. Option C ($110.50) and Option D ($123.00) are incorrect calculations that do not align with the price per ball multiplied by 5. Thus, the only accurate total for 5 bowling balls is $102.50.
